FORT WORTH -- When radio announcer Don Day signed off the air, he said it backwards.
"He used to always say, 'Hello, everyone, because I just hate to say goodbye,'" said Steve Lamb, a radio personality at WBAP/820 AM for more than 20 years.
"It was a great signature call. It was unique."
Mr. Day had a knack for picking a hit after listening to a record for only a couple of minutes, and he often listened to more than 500 records a week, said his wife, Nancie Baldwin Day.
He made up lyrics and often sang commentary when he was a WBAP disc jockey.
He learned to play the piano, organ, banjo, guitar, harmonica and ukulele without lessons. Mr. Day also mastered bowling, and he tried to do the same with golf, his wife said.
Until three weeks before he died Saturday of cancer, Mr. Day, 67, of Fort Worth, was out on the golf course three to four times a week with his golfing buddies, who will be his pallbearers.
In 2005, he sank a 157-yard hole-in-one at Lost Creek Golf Course.
"I don't think he would have stopped," his wife said. "He would never have become Tiger Woods, so he would never have given up. He would play a game until he mastered it and then move on."
Mr. Day also made beautiful charcoal drawings of animals, she said.
