Davidoff, an attorney by profession, was a champion of civil liberties and a nationally active lay leader in the Unitarian Universalist faith movement. He and his wife Denise lived in Westport from 1959 to the late 1990s when they moved to Norwalk.
Born July 1, 1926, in New York City, the son of a physician, Davidoff was raised in the Sunnyside section of Queens, N.Y., and educated at Little Red School House in Greenwich Village, Bronx High School of Science, the Horace Mann School in New York City, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Yale Law School.
While practicing law in New York City from 1950 to 1958, Davidoff met and in 1955 married the former Denise Ellen Taft of Brooklyn, N.Y., who later owned an advertising agency based in Fairfield and later in Westport.
