He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church in New Albany as well as a member of the Hobart Beach VFW Post 1693 and a life-member of the Cardinal Ritter Council 1221 Knights of Columbus. He served in Korea for the U.S. Army, followed by a stint in the Army Reserves. Ev retired after 39 years from the New Albany Tribune where he worked as a press room foreman. Upon retirement, Ev knew he couldn't sit still and embarked on his second calling and found a home at his beloved Holy Family Church. He loved everything about his time at Holy Family, from the priests, teachers, and students to keeping the buildings and grounds clean and maintained.

(Volpert) Day; children, Denise Erntsberger (Tim), Charles "Charlie" Day (Lisa), Therese Stevens (Lewie), and Mike Day (Beth); 7 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. Ev was a beloved husband, dad, papaw, great-grandpa, uncle, friend, and all around "Mr. Fix-it." Ev never knew a stranger and loved the simple life filled with family gatherings and time spent with friends.
