I just found out about Dan. We worked together at Lyme-Old Lyme HS. It was clear to me from our many conversations how much Dan loved his family. Such an interesting life he had. Deepest condolences.

A truly sad message awaited upon my return to Waterford this past week. In addition to being a friend for the past 50 years, Lt. Nutt was a special contributor to promoting school and community safety, security and emergency management policies for communities and school leaders in Waterford and in Connecticut. Dan was a volunteer contributor to the award winning "Guidelines for Safe Schools and Emergency Management" and a mesmerizing presenter during workshops for educators. His presentation at Eastern Connecticut State University, years ago, earned a "Best workshop, ever!" rating by prospective senior education majors soon to be professional teachers.
Dan´s passing brings heartfelt condolences from this friend to his family, colleagues and many others. He was a man who earned respect, demonstrated leadership excellence; a caring, sensitive demeanor with a clear sense of humor and love for America.
