Background & Mission
Bob
and Sue Wortman, lifelong residents of Morristown, IN, have long been committed
to giving back to the communities that supported their family and business.
After Bob returned from service in the U.S. Marines, he married Sue, and
together they raised their family while building their business in their
hometown.
Over
the years, through funds held with both BRCF and the Community Foundation of
Hancock County (CFHC), Bob and Sue Wortman have supported many projects in both
counties and beyond.
