My Heartfelt Condolences go out to all family and friends of Mr Dick Attlebery. Having the privilege of not only being coached but knowing this man and his family my entire life is my honor. As a parent and coach now in my late 40's I understand the lessons we teach within the game are more importantly carried forward in life. What I took from Mr Attlebery was that no matter what is going on in the game there was always time for a smile, a laugh, a joke, time to enjoy life, and that after game meant more than the game!. The man may have left us, but his life lessons will live forever!. One of my fondest sporting memories was playing in a fastball tournament in my early 20's and we were in a game we were not suppose to win. Down by a couple in the bottom of the last inning with a couple of runners on and 2 out I came to the plate and looked down at Mr Attlebery for the signals. With his hands rubbing together so fast they could start a fire he smiled at me and pointed over the left field fence. With the count 3 balls and 2 strikes and one lucky swing of the bat, the ball was destined to the exact spot Mr Attlebery pointed to. Celebrating with life long friends like Duane Ayres, Chris Hall and the rest of the gang I was just glad in that moment not to let Mr Attlebery down as we all loved him just as much as i believe he loved us. R.I.P. Mr Attlebery my Parents will be happy to see you! Terry
