Poor guy, I hope he rests and is in a happy place.
I did not know this. Is he the one who identified Charles Manson?
Can't imagine what this man went through losing a daughter and unborn grandchild in that manner. R.I.P.
Finding out his daughter married a pedophile rapist probably wasnt a picnic either.
RIP.
With military erectness, Sharons father took the stand and was sworn. Though forty-six, he looked younger, and sported a well-trimmed beard. Before entering the courtroom, he had been thoroughly searched, it being rumored that he had vowed to kill Manson. Even though he glanced only briefly at the defendants, and exhibited no discernible reaction, the bailiffs watched him every minute he was in the courtroom.-- Vince Bugliosi and Curt Gentry, Helter Skelter.
Hell....give me just five minutes.
Paul Tate outlived two of his three daughters. His wife Dorris died of cancer in 1992 and another daughter, Patty, died of breast cancer in 2000. He is survived by his youngest daughter, Debra, of Riverside, Calif.

Seems he had a very tragic life the last 30 or 40 years. Gotta believe the next one will be a lot better.
Rest in Peace, Col. Tate. And condolences to Debra and the surviving family members.
It breaks my heart to hear this wonderful man spent his last days in a nursing home. I wish I had the ability then to visit him and tell him exactly how much respect and love I have for his family. Happy Birthday Miss Sharon Marie Tate, the world still loves you. Even it’s younger generation which I’m a part of. You are a great actress and they cheated us out of it.
