HYANNIS - Dan Dyer Ghormley died suddenly at home in Hyannis on
Dec. 26, 2007.
Born in Glendale, Calif., on Feb. 13, 1942, Dan grew up in
Southern California and was a star track athlete and football
player in his younger days. He was educated at Washington State
University and earned a bachelor's degree in education and a
master's degree in administration.
Dan had a long career in coaching and athletic administration. His
work as an Assistant Commissioner with the Eastern Collegiate
Athletic Conference brought him to Cape Cod in 1989. He retired in
1997, and over the last 10 years, due to health concerns, Dan
transitioned into in-home sales and several other smaller part-time
jobs, including delivery for the Cape Cod Times, On the Water, and
the Auto Trader.
Dan was preceded in death by his father, Dyer Ghormley; his
mother, Betty Ghormley Maier; and his brother, David Ghormley. Dan
is survived by his wife, Rosalinda Arcebuche; his son, Matthew
Ghormley; and his brother, James Ghormley. He was stepfather "Uncle
Dan" to six stepchildren, Lani, Ylene, Michael, Christina, James,
and Vincent "Chubby." Dan was "grandpa" to nine loving
grandchildren, R.D., Justin, Lindsey, Drake, Nicole, Phoebe, Alexa,
Arianna, and Talon. He was dearly loved by all.
A memorial service celebrating his life will be held on Wednesday,
Jan. 2, at 1:30 p.m., at Doane, Beal & Ames Funeral Home, 160
