Graham Worley, 77,  died June 6 after a courageous fight with a rare cancer.

Born in England, Worley moved to Canada in his late 20s, where he practiced law.

After retirement, Worley and his wife spent a few winters in San Miguel de Allende before moving to Lakeside. The couple have lived in the area for 12 years.  

Active in the local writers group, his stories were published in Ojo de Lago and the Lake Chapala Review. One of his favorite pastimes was hiking in the mountains above Ajijic.  As a younger man, Worley used to enjoy running marathons.

Worley died peacefully in the presence of his family, including his dog Bella, and accompanied by a musical therapist playing the classical guitar.

Worley is survived by his wife Deirdre; children Amanda, Alison and Kristen and grandchildren Hartley and Madison, all of Toronto, Ontario.

A private family service and cremation was held at St. James-the-Less Chapel in Cabbagetown on June 10. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations be made to Wellspring, which can be reached at www.wellspring.com.
