He marched to his own drum beat.
* He loved to wear basketball kneesocks with black high-tops when I was a kid (and still kept that affinity for black high-tops the rest of his life).
*He liked to practice his golf swing in our front yard (often with no club). He also did it when we happened to be standing in line or waiting for anything out in public, which I found particularly mortifying as a teenager.
*He was the only man taking step aerobics at our gym in the 80s and 90s.
*He would ask for mint chocolate chip ice cream AND rum raisin mixed together on top of his chocolate cake without batting an eye.
*His car would be full of golf balls rolling around, and there were golf tees in our dryer all the time.
*He went through a phase in the 90s where he ate tuna right out of the can with some cocktail sauce and Dijon mustard mixed in - at 6 in the morning. Used to gross me out!
*He wanted our father/daughter dance at my wedding to be perfect, so we took lessons and practiced for weeks so it would be exactly how he envisioned it. :)
*Would tell you he had only eaten one meal that day while chewing in your ear on the phone for the third time that same day.
*Really loved dogs and was looking forward to possibly having another one sometime soon.
*Even though we kept telling him to stay put because of COVID, he managed to lose his wallet at least two times (that he admitted to) at WaWa getting sandwiches (also puzzling, since I was ordering him groceries daily so he wouldn't have to go anywhere!!!)
*When we called his car insurance agent to notify her of his death this week, she said, "Oh, that's a shame. You know, he used to call me 2 or 3 times a week to ask me what his driver license number was because he kept losing his license in the house."
*Loved my mom, my brother, and me more than anything.

We practiced this dip a lot!

When I first visited the Day house in 1986, we drove right past the wacky guy golfing on his front lawn. Then my dad realized that was probably the house he was taking me too!
