MONTCLAIR, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Yogi Berra was remembered by family and friends at a private funeral in the New Jersey town where he and his wife raised their family.
Fans lined the streets to pay their respects hours before the funeral began Tuesday morning at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Montclair.
“It’s sad,” one man told 1010 WINS’ Glenn Schuck. “He’s a great human being, that he was. I’m a big Yankees fan and there’s not too many old time Yankees left.”
The baseball legend and American treasure known for his quirky sayings died Sept.
