Charles Day
July 10, 1933 — September 30, 2023
Dr. Charles "Chuck" Raymond Day, age 90, of Rochester, NY, passed away peacefully on September 29, 2023, after a 45-year battle with cancer.
Chuck is survived by his wife, Susan Polle; ex-wife, Annabelle Day Newton; children Rebecca Hudson, Sami (Joe) Romagnola, Laura (Tony) D'Aprile, and Eric (Tania) Day; grandchildren Amber, Samantha, and Elizabeth; great-grandchild Jayana; and siblings Shirley Paine of Apple Valley, CA, and Robert Day of San Diego, CA; Nieces & Nephews, Bobby, Andrea, Lisa & Amy.
Born July 10, 1933, in Erie, PA, to Ray and Ardis Day, Chuck became an Eagle Scout and joined the Army, serving in the rocketry program at White Sands, NM, during the Korean War. He graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1959 and went on to earn a Master's Degree from Duke University in 1961 and a PhD from Ohio State in 1965. He began his long teaching career in the SUNY Brockport Psychology Department in 1965, serving as chairman of that department for the last four years before his retirement in 2000.
Chuck knew a lot about everything, was an avid reader, and was passionate about gardening and violins. Daylilies were his favorite flower, blooming every year for his birthday.
The family plans a private memorial in Chuck's beloved gardens.
