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.[1]

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

Theosophical Society activities

Ted Davy was General Secretary of The Theosophical Society in Canada from 1968-1986 and, together with his wife Doris, co-edited The Canadian Theosophist from 1961 to 1992.

In 1983, Mr. Davy was asked to present the Blavatsky Lecture at the Theosophical Society in England. His topic was "The Descent into Hades".

In 2004, for Mr. Davy's 75th birthday, colleagues honored him by publishing a festschrift, Keeping the Link Unbroken: Theosophical Studies Presented to Ted G. Davy on His Seventy-fifth Birthday. The editor was Michael Gomes.
