Not sure what to say?

A great attorney...a great teacher....a great man. I was lucky to have had you as an instructor and a friend. Love Mike and Mary Jo Caruso

Tim was a great Town Justice, patriot, mentor and friend. But most of all, he was a great Democrat in old Kennedy way! I always enjoyed his enthusiasm for town politics when he was in his election cycle and the energy he would bring to the team. He accomplished much during his lifetime and leaves a legacy of service to his country, town, students and family behind him. Rest in peace, Tim. We will surely miss you!

I had Mr. Dwan as my college professor at ECC North in 1978 and 1979. He performed my marriage ceremony on August 11,1979. I just thought of him today, August 21 and looked him up. I am so sad to see that he has passed. He was my favorite teacher ever. Ruth Reif Kiebzak

The world has lost one of the truly great guys. We have known Judge Dwan both as a swimmer and a judge and will remember his smile and kind, caring heart. Well done, faithful servant and rest in peace. Our condolences to your family.

Rest in Peace Mr. Dwan, You have forever been friends of my family, my deepest condolences to your family.

I just loved Tim Dawn. He was a fair and impartial judge for years. But, his best days were on the T-Ball diamond coaching with me. We had so much fun coaching those kids. He even represented me with the 14 year old T-Ball umpire who threw me out of the game anyway. LOL Only case Tim ever lost. LOL We've lost a really great guy, who loved his family friends, clients, etc, etc, etc. Rest in Peace Judicial Peace Tim. I'm sure the Lord has already given you the golden gavel in Heaven. Larry Kufel

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Every Criminal Justice student at ECC wanted to be in Mr. Dwan´s classes. I met him there, worked with him many times while a police officer, and he did legal work for me personally. One of the finest most caring and professional people I´ve ever known..Always considered the officers point of view while on the bench. Godspeed, Mr. Dwan.

We roomed together for 4 great years He was my lawyer at the court marshall which he won. Tim never lost a campaign President of the class Tim and I discussed early if he ran for Govenor of Conn. he would win I met a young soldier[Mar 66] who was wounded while serving under Tim in Vietnam[1st Inf Div BIG RED ONE] I was at Walter Reed in Washington DC he said Tim was one of the best officiers in the Division a winner. Tim was and is a winner " Sic transit gloria mundi" Pat
