May Mr. Ross rest in peace. He was an extremely talented soul. You could tell how much he loved his wife while watching Tattletale. My most memorable moment of that show was when Mr. Ross didn't know what a Jacuzzi was
To me it showed how down to earth the extremely funny and likable man was.

Mr Ross and his wife, Patty, were my favorite celebrity couple on Tattletales and Match game back in the 70's.
Their humor and wit brought laughter and entertainment to millions. They will both be missed. Condolences to all who knew them personally, especially their family.

Donald and Patti were both so intelligent and funny. Two very important character traits that seems to be missing in todays world. Rest peacefully both of you, when my time comes, I hope to see all of my loved ones, and Donald and Patti too.

Being in my 70's and having grown up on many game shows, I am now enjoying watching Donald and his beloved wife Patti on such shows as Match Game and Tattletales. Thanks for the laughs way back then and they're even funnier today.

I was looking up Donald and Patty and found his obituary. My condolences to his loved ones. I saw the couple earlier on Tattletales, and right now I am watching Patti on the Match Game, my two favorite game shows. She is with child on this episode. They beat the odds and lasted together forever.

Don and I were students together at Boston University in the early sixties. I met Patty in 1967 when she was living on west 10 St . Patty was the same ,zany kind of person as she appeared on the TV screen Don was a real sweetheart of a guy,very low key and always fun. To lose a parent is an experience no one can really describe.But to lose them both in less than a year is unimaginable. To have 2 great parents is a gift to be cherished forever. I am so sorry to hear of their passing,but it is comforting to know they are both together in a beautiful place filled with love.

Even tho I didn't know either of them, my wife and I always enjoyed seeing them together. They seemed like such a happy couple Best wishes to your family.
