He was the husband of Dale L. Tatro, the son of the late Theodore E. and Lucile Tatro, and the brother of Bonnie Tatro of OR and Susan (Thomas) Christian of MN.
Ted enjoyed his retirement and took great pleasure in his summer job as an usher for the Lancaster Barnstormers Baseball Team. Ted was also a veteran of the US. Navy where he was a second class petty officer radioman from 1967-1971.
Surviving besides his wife and sisters is his daughter, Tina Tatro of MN and her children, Alison and Sohpia, his son Jason Tatro of NC, and his son Christopher Tatro of NJ. He is also survived by his step-daughters, Kim (Joe) Valinsky of NJ and their children, Ryan and Colin, and Barbara (Michael) Schoonover of VA and their children, Christian, Kailynn, and Ava.
A small celebration of Ted’s life will be planned in Millersville with a larger celebration of his life being held in MN this upcoming summer.
Please do not send flowers. In lieu of flowers please send donations in Ted’s name to Hospice and Community Care 685 Good Drive, P.O. Box 4125, Lancaster, PA 17604-4125.
I managed Ted for several years at Kelly Services. As a veteran myself, I always enjoyed talking to Ted about our days in the military. I just found out he passes away as I moved to Texas several years ago. He was a great guy and employee.
To the Tatro family,
One of the nicest people that I could ever talk to during my summers at the Barnstormers was Ted… I loved our quick moments while I was doing the “50/50 Raffle” to chat with Ted about anything that crossed our minds. So very sorry for our loss and my condolences to the entire Tatro family.

Dale and family,
So sorry to hear of Ted’s passing. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Thank you for making sure Jason (my godson) had the chance to be with him this past weekend! I hadn’t seen Ted in many years, but still remember the stories he and Steve shared of their high school days! I’m sure they were in trouble at school more than once or twice. I will always fondly remember the times he spent with my family.
Dale,
So very sorry to hear about your loss. May you feel God’s peace and love more and more each day. Please know that I am praying for you and your family.
Dale,
I am so sorry to hear about Ted’s passing! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
