The Honorable Warren Eginton died on October 7, 2019 at his home at Meadow Ridge in Redding, CT. Born in Brooklyn, NY on February 16. 1924, he graduated from Loomis School in Windsor, CT. His undergraduate years at Princeton University were interrupted in 1944 when he was commissioned at Ft. Sill and then became an armored officer at Ft. Knox. He was sent to the Philippines with the 716 ^th Tank Battalion, and then became a war-crimes investigation officer for the trials of Japanese Generals Yamashita and Homma. While awaiting transportation back to the U.S., he was caught in a crossfire involving Filipino Constabulary and Japanese prisoners, so his return was delayed by six months for hospital convalescence. He arrived back in Princeton in the fall of 1946 and received a degree from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton in 1948. He then attended Yale Law School and upon graduation in 1951, spent brief periods with the NYC law firms of Donovan, Leisure and Davis Polk, after which he became a partner of Cummings & Lockwood in Stamford, CT, and then a United States District Judge in Bridgeport, CT, where he served as an active and, later, senior judge until his death. For two decades he visited Arizona and New Mexico for an annual stint as a visiting judge. He was the longest-serving federal judge in the history of the U.S. Courts in the District of Connecticut. He served on many boards, including Terrace Club at Princeton, the Leadership Development Council, which sponsored the annual Medina Seminar at Princeton, the Hilla von Rebay Foundation, and Pine Island Camp in Belgrade, Maine. In 1951, he married the former Marjorie Barr, who pre-deceased him after 40 years of marriage. He later married the former Mary Leonard, who died in 2013. He is survived by his daughter, Andrea Seaton and her husband Mike of East Dover, VT, his son John Eginton and Patrice Beck of Mystic, CT, his granddaughters Katherine Seaton of Durham, NC and Sarah Seaton of Ft. Myers, FL, and his companion Edythe Woodruff.  Gifts for a scholarship fund in memory of the Honorable Warren W.
