JAMES DAY

Jim was a graduate of Bellaire High (1967), where he played varsity football and then continued to support the Big Reds, trying to attend one game a year. After graduating from Ohio University, and after serving in the US Navy, he began his career in transportation engineering, first for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, then eventually retiring from the Washington Metro. Never liking being idle, in retirement he founded his own carpet-cleaning business, Prokleen Professional Carpet Care, which he sold in 2019 to begin his second retirement, spending time boating, fishing and crabbing.

He is survived by his sister, Sandra McCoy (nee Day) and Sandra’s husband, Ray McCoy. Jim was very close to his nieces, Erin Madson (nee McCoy) and Man McCoy, along with Erin’s husband, Mark Madson and their 5 children, Alyza, McCoy, Charlotte, Jane and Georgia, and Megan’s husband, Mark Kramer. Jim’s father had two brothers, Tom Day and Bob Day, and is survived by Tom’s wife, Loretta Day, and his Uncle Bob. In addition, Jim was beloved by his stepfamily (the Davis family) for the past 20 years, Ken and Sharon, Cel and Rick, Mary Ann and Scott, Bill and Sally. He will be so missed.
