Ex-Game Show Host, Wife Die in Plane Crash

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - A former TV game show host and his wife were killed Monday morning when their small plane crashed into Santa Monica Bay, authorities said. Rescue crews were searching for a third person also aboard the plane.

The bodies of Peter Tomarken, 63, host of the hit 1980s game show "Press Your Luck," and his wife, Kathleen Abigail Tomarken, 41, were identified by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

The plane was on its way to San Diego to ferry a medical patient to the UCLA Medical Center, said Doug Griffith, a spokesman for Angel Flight West, a nonprofit which provides free air transportation for needy patients.

I used to love Press Your Luck and the little whammys.

I am so sad about their deaths. May they rest in peace :(
 
I still remember that game show. Here's a pic in his younger days. Rest in peace. So very sad. Sounds like they did volunteer work together.
