Charles C. Day

Charles was educated at Columbia University and received his Masters Degree from Juilliard School of Music. Charles also studied music in Paris and attended Le Courdon Bleu while there.

After teaching at Texas Tech University, in 1942, Charles came to San Antonio where he became the organist and choir master at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. During his tenure, of over sixty years, Charles had a host of friends in the San Antonio community, at St. Paul's and throughout the diocese of West Texas.

His love of music was his lifelong passion, and he taught music throughout his lifetime. Charles' other passions included his love of people, a love of cooking, good food and good wines. Charles was a food critic for the San Antonio Light for a number of years, he was a national judge for the African Violet Society and he raised prize Himalyan cats.

His quick wit and outgoing personality were his trademarks.

He is survived by his brother, Edward A. Day and wife, Virginia; sister, Sue Alice Satterfield and husband John Andrew; and his nieces and nephews.
