Eddy H. and Dee Davis Memorial Scholarship for Men's Golf

This scholarship is being established by Dee Davis in memory of her late husband Eddy H.Davis. Born in Memphis, TN, on August 8, 1949, Eddy Harrell Davis attended Memphis State University. He joined the Eveready Battery Division of Union Carbide in 1973 as a customer service rep. Eddy retired after 14 assignments in seven cities and 28 years of service. His last assignments were VP of Sales and Customer Service, and lastly, he ran the Energizer Global Lighting Products business. Eddy attended graduate school at the University of Oklahoma and earned a Master of International Business degree from the University of Dallas. His passion for business was international. After flunking retirement at age 50, he joined a startup to launch Victorinox/Swiss Army travel gear internationally. He circled the globe extensively and, after a few years, established distribution in over 40 countries. He retired again in 2008. While still residing in St. Louis, Ed and Dee bought a home on St. Simons/Sea Island in 2008, relocating permanently in 2015. He was often asked what was his favorite place in the world; his quick reply was St. Simons and Sea Island. Even though he enjoyed numerous activities, his sport was golf. Ed was an active member and board member of Sea Island Seniors and the Men’s Golf Association.
