David M. Eddy ’50

Dave died Sept. 21, 2015, in Louisville.

He was born in Hartford, Conn., where he graduated from the Kingswood School. At Princeton, Dave was an English major, participated in Theatre Intime, and belonged to Terrace Club. He also worked at WPRU and wrote for the Nassau Lit.

After serving in the Army Signal Corps in California for two years, he settled in New York City, where he used his writing acumen at NBC and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Dave then worked for the United Presbyterian Church U.S.A., where he edited publications for more than 20 years. He moved to Louisville when the church relocated its headquarters to that city, and retired there.

Dave loved animals and was an avid gardener, which was reflected at his homes in Brooklyn Heights and Louisville. Among other undertakings, he published choral works and produced an off-Broadway musical, The Athenian Touch, for which he wrote the lyrics.

Dave never married and is survived by his brother, William.
