Syd Davy
Founder, Intrepid Society
SYD DAVY, 72. Sports, royalty and a spy were three of his loves through life. He was the undefeated Manitoba/Saskatchewan lightweight amateur boxing champion in his 20s. After retiring from CN Rail, he devoted his time to the Royal Commonwealth Society, spending 20 of those years as president. He also founded and was president of the Intrepid Society and an expert in "the Man Called Intrepid," Sir William Stephenson. He commissioned a statue to Stephenson by Leo Mol and helped convince the city to name a library after the spymaster. The Intrepid Society mourned his passing on 30 May 2008.
