Spouses and Partners
All of the SIBLINGS married, as have many of our CHILDREN. The 27 partners—so far—are featured here.
Chris Denton
Married to Laurie Cuttino. Father of Sydni. Stepfather of Elka Cuttino and Sam Cuttino.
Gerard Toth
Gerard “Gary” Toth grew up in Silver Spring, became a journeyman machinist, then earned a B.S. in aerospace engineering at University of Maryland. With his military draft guaranteed, he joined the U.S. Air Force in 1971 and married Martha in 1972. During two years of helicopter pilot training, they moved every few months to another middle-of-nowhere “garden spot.” He did a three-year stint of search and rescue out of Clark Air Base in the Philippines, then switched to Special Operations out of Hurlburt Field FL, where Leilah was born. Anxious to leave the service, he took an offer from Ford to work as an engineer in Dearborn, where Valerie was born. He spent 25 years there, ending as a technical specialist solving design and operational problems—work that he loved. Gary was alerted to his Stage IV cancer by a sudden loss of speech in 2002. For nearly three years, he went through every standard (and a few experimental) treatments, a period of somewhat normal retirement interspersed with moments of pain and terror. He died a week after his 59th birthday.
Jerome McGinn
Married to Monica Wright. Father of Chris and Tim. Jerry died peacefully on April 27, 2023. This is his obituary. In the spirit of giving back, Jerry donated his brain for research purposes, and it turns out this was important. See this report from Brain Support Network.
Kathy Wright
Kathy was born in Washington, DC in 1949 and grew up in Silver Spring, MD. After graduating from the University of Maryland in 1971 with a BS in Nursing, she obtained her license as a Registered Nurse and began work at the Veteran’s Hospital in Washington. After marrying Charlie Wright, she moved to Guam where her two daughters Terri and Katie were born. On returning to the mainland, she worked in a Hospital in Florida, a nursing home in southern Maryland, and briefly as an Occupational Health Nurse for E-Systems in Fairfax, before joining the Fairfax County Health Department, where she spent a 25-year career as a Public Health Nurse. Retired in 2010, Kathy and Charlie now live in Reston VA, where they enjoy traveling and visiting their two daughters and seven grandchildren.

Ken was the only member of his family to attend college. He held a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Computer in Education. Ken spent most of his professional career as a faculty member and Counselor for disabled students at San Diego City College. He made a positive difference in the lives of many students over the years and never missed a graduation ceremony. He taught American Sign Language, was an avid ham radio enthusiast and was always looking for his next favorite personal computer so he could upgrade flight simulator programs and tour the world virtually. He is the stepfather of Jesse Renny-Byfield.
