Ted G. Davy

Personal life

According to Ernest Pelletier:

Ted Davy was a young evacuee who was brought to Canada in September 1940 under the threats that the Germans would bomb and invade England during World War II. In Canada, while living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ted joined the Norwegian Merchant Nancy when he was sixteen, and later the British Merchant Navy. He spent his early years as a sailor after the war. His experience on ships taught him a disciplined way of life.

Mr. Davy died on November 26, 2017 at the age of 91.
