In the end he looked like Paul McCartney but in 1970 he looked liked Robert Redford and all the women in Washington, DC were interested. He picked me and in May of 1972 we were married. On our first anniversary I was 6 months pregnant with our son Eric, the light of Tom's life. The marriage did not last but the friendship did and for 40 years many flights were made from the east coast to Arizona. We shared vacations and family milestones. Tom even drove his second wife, Bonnie to Delaware to met us. Family was everything to Tom. Once you were in his life he never let go. His Mother was told me that of all her children Tommy was the one who wanted nothing more than a wife, a house with the white picket fence and 2.5 children. Luckily he got some of that dream. I will miss his full body laugh when he was tickled by something and his ability to reminisces with a joyful eye. I don't think he ever saw a flaw in someone he loved. A remarkable trait and one I will miss. He fought a number of illnesses over the years but his continuous optimistic attitude allowed him to appreciate what he had and even beat cancer. I will miss you Tom. Rest in Peace and say hello to Dorothy when you reach heaven. Love Linda Mihalyi Stankiewicz
