Dick Entinger was raised in Beaver, Pennsylvania, where he participated in basketball, baseball, and tennis, graduating in 1960. While attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania, he participated on the varsity basketball team. Dick and his wife Judy relocated to the West Coast in 1970, moving to Medford in 1976 for a job promotion. The first organization he joined was the Medford Linebackers in 1977. This group was appealing because of its dedication to supporting student-athletes in the Medford School District. This was the con­duit Dick used to pay it forward to other athletes, which he had received in his youth by a local Beaver High School District contributor, Paul Jones.
