Known to his colleagues and friends as “Edge,” U.S. District Judge Warren Eginton served for about 40 years on the federal bench in Connecticut. He was a powerhouse figure in the state’s legal circles, and is being remembered for his fairness, his rapport with his fellow judges and his community outreach.

“He was the glue of our court,” said U.S. District Judge Janet Hall. ”I said that recently to toast him. He will forever be the glue of the court.”
