Miller, who was hired in 1939 by USGA Executive Director Joe Dey at the princely sum of $18 a week, died Aug. 7 at the age of 85 in Pinehurst, N.C. Funeral services will be held Saturday (Aug. 16) in his hometown of Glen Cove, N.Y., on Long Island.
Miller's official title at the USGA was executive assistant, but he had his hands in so many areas of the Association's operation.
Miller's great legacy was developing a system for local and sectional qualifying for USGA championships, most notably the U.S. Open.
Eddie was an active member of the bluegrass community in the Knoxville, Tenn.-area throughout much of his early teen and adult years, playing in such groups as the East Tennessee Mountain Boys with his father Ernie, the New River Boys, the Smoky Mountain Travelers, New Dawn and the Possum Belly Band.
Eddie died at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville of injuries sustained from an auto accident on the evening of Oct. 3.
Eddie is survived by Nellanne, his wife of 14 years; his parents; 3 brothers; 2 sisters; stepson Ron Thompson, and a whole passel of friends and acquaintances who miss him tremendously but know that he's somewhere much better.
