James (Jimmy) A. Dwy, 80, a lifelong resident of Wingdale, passed away on December 26, 2014 at Putnam Hospital in Carmel, NY. Born on April 10, 1934 in New Milford, CT, he was the son of the late Clifford and Blanche (Duncan) Dwy. His mother, Blanche, was his idol. Mr. Dwy was a contractor and carpenter who owned Dwy Construction and enjoyed doing a lot for the Town of Dover. He was a very hardworking man. He is survived by his wife, Caroline Dwy, who will sadly miss him.

An avid golfer, he flew his own plane and enjoyed traveling all over the world. He lived a very adventurous life, too numerous to list. He lived life with a smile and love in his heart. His greatest joy was being called, “Grandpa Jim.” He loved his wife and let her know every day. He took great pride in everything he did.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his sons, Ron Dwy and his wife, Josie, of Poughkeepsie, NY and Alec Dwy of Poughkeepsie, NY; his four stepchildren who loved him like their father, Steven Buturla and his wife, Melissa, of New Milford, CT, Priscilla Cabrera and her husband, Noel, of New Milford, CT, Randy Buturla of Gaylordsville, CT and Gregory Buturla of New Milford, CT. He is also survived by his sister, Shirley Calabro, with whom he was close as well as her husband, George, of Wingdale; his brother, Richard Dwy and his wife, Rossie of North Carolina; his brother-in-law, Dale Johnson, who was there in his time of need and was his best buddy and his wife, Tina. He will be sorely missed by his mother-in-law, Pryde Johnson with whom he had a great relationship and sister-in-law, Christine Foshay, of Florida and Brenda Masterson, who he adored of Wingdale, and his many grandchildren who will miss their Grandpa Jim.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his daughter, Cynthia Dwy, his late wife, Barbara Dwy, a brother, Clifford, and two sisters, Blanche and Claira.
