It is with great sadness that the family of Phil Worley announce his peaceful passing at the Rockyview General Hospital on Thursday, December 1, 2016 at the age of 72, with his family by his side. With tears and a heavy heart, Phil is survived by his loving wife Joan, of fifty-one years; his daughter, Shelley Miller (Sid Trofimenkoff); his son and daughter-in- law, Brad and Louise Worley; his adored grandchildren, Brendan Miller, Chad Miller and Braylene Worley; his brother and sister- in-law, Dick and Diane Worley; his niece and her family, Linda, Bryce, Alyssa and Mitch Buchanan. He is also survived by his brother- in-law, Larry Greenbank and Chris. Phil was predeceased by his parents, Ernest and Florence Worley; his stepmother, Hazel Worley; his stepbrother, Brian Worley; his nephew, Blake Worley; as well as his mother and father-in-law, Bob and Isabella Greenbank. Phil will be remembered as a kind, caring, warm and generous person who would always lend a hand to anyone; his family was his first and foremost priority.

Dear Joan, Brad, Shelley and family,
Our sincere sympathy as we remember a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Phil was never too busy to stop and chat or help out wherever he was needed. Phil will be missed by all who had the honour of knowing him. The most important thing in Phil's life was his family, which was evident anytime we visited with him. Joan, we are only a phone call away, so call us anytime day or night if you want errands run or just need to talk.

Joan and family, I will always remember the many cups of coffee and conversations Phil and I shared in so many hockey rinks when our boys were young. He was a good and caring man. My sincere condolences on your loss.
