"Ted"
Edward Ray Day, age 69, passed away October 24, 2003 in Salt Lake City.
He was born Dec 15, 1933 in Salt Lake City to Delbert Ernest and Olive Kynaston Day. He was reared in Emigration Canyon and attended Granite High School. Married Sharon Davis Sept 5, 1952; together they had three children.
Ted retired as a sales representative from Kaman Bearing. He was also a Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff and a member of the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Jeep Rescue Patrol. He was a proud member of the Utah National Guard 19th Special Forces and retired as a Major with 49 para-chute jumps. The time spent in the Special Forces was the highlight and most memor-able time of his life.
Ted enjoyed riding motorcycles, camping, driving his 1955 Thunderbird and teasing his grandkids. There was never a dull moment when Grandpa Ted was around. He was a man of more than nine lives and an adventure seeker.
Survived by his brother, LeGrand Day; former wife, Sharon Day; daughters, Jodie Lawrence (Mike), Kellie Day; grandchildren, Cindy Lawrence (Sam), Dixie Lawrence, Amy Still (Dwaine); great-grandchildren, Ashley, Jordan, Hailey, Tyler; and granddog, "Tobie." Preceded in death by his parents and son, Bryan Ray Day.
Dad, now you can really say, "You've been there and done that!" We'll miss you, Jodie.
