Beaver Falls has lost an all time great citizen recently with the passing of Richard Attisano. Attisano, 95 was a lifelong Beaver Falls native. Most know him as the Commander of the BF American Legion post 261, but he was so much more. There wasn’t a sports league or a civic organization around that Dickie wasn’t involved with at one time or another during his long life. He saw and coached some of the all time great athletes in his day, and was a great source of information about the old days. Always ready to help the young guys when asked for help, which was quite often. He gave my brother John a chance to manage The Post 261 Jr Legion Baseball Team. It meant a lot to him to have that opportunity.
Dickie will be truly missed by all that knew him, he did so much to improve our community, and he did it for a very long time.
He is my Father’s first cousin and I am proud to be part of his family.
Our heartfelt condolences to Dickie’s immediate family as well as the entire Salvano Clan for our heartbreaking loss.
Shown are two local teams coached by Attisano and him with cousins Bob Zigerelli, Dickie, Joe Salvano, Rab Higgins back in the day on ninth avenue.
