Obituary of Arthur Yantz

Artie Yantz was a great man. Artie is known throughout Brooklyn Neighborhoods such as Marine Park, Gerritsen Beach, Mill Basin, Fort Tilden as our baseball coach. Artie Died February 26, 2017 at the age of 87. Many of you would remember Artie as he would ride his bike up and down Avenue U to and from his baseball practices. Artie would give his entire day to young ballplayers and teach then everything that he knew about baseball. Artie rented a small room in Canarsie and was always giving every minute to his ballplayers. Artie in his younger days was a high school coach for Nazareth Catholic school and also was a coach at St. Edmund Prep in Brooklyn. Rodney Stewart, Jay Constantino and Kevin McGurdy would like to thank our Community for coming together and for their gracious donations that are being used to provide Artie a dignified funeral. Friends are welcomed to pay their respects to Artie on Wednesday March 15, 2017 at Marine Park Funeral Home from 2:00 - 5:00 and 7:00 - 9:00 PM. A procession will form on Thursday morning at the funeral home for 10:00 AM to Calverton National Cemetery where Mr. Yantz will be laid to rest.
