Born in Ottawa, he was the son of the late Robert and Mary (MacLean) Davidson. Hugh attended Carlton University where he graduated with a degree in Mathematics. He would go on to attend the University of Toronto where he graduated with a Bachelors of Applied Science in 1958. He then attended Dalhousie University, earning both a Masters in Mathematics (1965) and his Ph.D. in Statistics (1974). Hugh joined the School of Business at Acadia University in 1975 where he taught for 20 years before retiring in 1995. One of Hugh's great passions in life was training and running English springer spaniels in field trials across North America. His successful trialing career included his dog Tex winning the Canadian National Open Championship in 2002 and Bird placing in three North American championships in one year. You could still find Hugh out with the Trudels and the rest of the "dog crew" this fall training his dog Stonington North Star. Above all else, Hugh was so proud of his wife, Mary and his family; and never missed an opportunity to celebrate and support his grandchildren. He loved all kinds of music, a good book, and a great bottle of Scotch-o!
