Obituary: Arthur Antini Of Brewster

from the Beecher Funeral Home

Arthur (Art) Antini, 90, of Brewster, New York, died at 5:23 PM, Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.

He was born November 2, 1932 in White Plains, NY, the son of Joseph and Louise (Sinistore) Antini.

Art is predeceased by his wife Myrtle (Schmeiler) Antini, and survived by his three children, Linda Penebre of Lake Carmel, NY, Pamela Antini of Pawling, NY, and Steven Antini and his wife, Amy of Raleigh, NC; his grandchildren Michael Penebre of Lake Carmel, NY, Marcello and Leonardo Antini of Raleigh, NC. Art was also one of ten children, with six brothers and three sisters.

A Korean War veteran with the U.S. Navy, Art served on two destroyers, the USS The Sullivans and USS Rooks. After his honorable discharge from the Navy in 1953, he began a 35 year career working for the U.S. Post Office. On January 15, 1955, he married his wife Myrt in Port Chester, NY. They were married an incredible 60 years.

A loving husband, father, and grandfather, he treasured nothing more than time spent with family. Sunday gravy and watching sports was one of his, and the family's, favorite pastimes. He was personable, funny, could take up a conversation with anyone, and he never missed a game of his beloved NY Yankees. One of a kind, he will be missed, but certainly never forgotten.

Internment is private. Memorial donations in Art's honor may be given to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation
