Ralph Shatterly

I´ll never forget walking into his class at North Rowan for the first time. Transferring from another school, I was a few days late. I looked around the class, not seeing a teacher, and walked up to the boy that I thought was just sitting in the teacher´s desk and asked him where Mr. Shatterly was. It was a very embarrassing way to start off at a new school, but Mr. Shatterly just smiled his kind smile and introduced himself. He was a wonderful teacher and I know he will be missed by many....

Sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to have known Coach and to have been on the receiving end of his knowledge and guidance, both in the classroom and "on the mat". Coach was a great person and will be greatly missed by all that knew him. David Farmer NRHS Class of 1969

Mrs Shatterly you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mr Shatterly was a great teacher,coach, and friend. He will be greatly missed. Love Jamie Byrd Peeler.

To the Shatterly Family so sorry to hear the passing of this great man.I am a former student of Mrs.Shatterly she often spoke of her family and the love of her life .Praying for peace and comfort.

It was a privilege to call him "coach". Tough, but fair, and that is all an "ole farm boy" could have ever asked for. Unfortunately, one of the last of a dying breed. I am sure he is teaching the "neck bridge" in Heaven as we speak. RIP my friend! Jim Shuping NRHS Class of '76

Dear Sharon and Family, What a wonderful tribute and legacy for your father/ husband. Many heartfelt thoughts and prayers for all in the days ahead. Joan Gasque

Praying for peace and comfort for the family.

Coach- inspired me to run 4:59 mile after Coach Barger told 115 lb me, "Moore you're a miler".Coach Shatterly also taught me to drive. Last time I saw him(at Rowan Library I told him I have never had a ticket. He was also my Civics teacher at NRHS He will be greatly missed.

A wonderful and giving person. Always greeted you with a smile and good humor. My sincere condolences to his family on their loss God bless them.
