Art LaFleur, a character actor who often appeared as a cop, coach or tough guy and played Babe Ruth in 'The Sandlot,' has died at age 78 after a battle with Parkinson’s.
His wife Shelley confirmed his death on Facebook, writing, “This guy... After a 10 year battle with A-typical Parkinson’s, Art LaFleur, the love of my life passed away.”
“He was a generous and selfless man which carried over to his acting but more importantly it was who he was for his family and friends. Every location or set we visited him on, the cast and crew would introduce themselves and tell Molly, Joe, and me how Art spoke of us with such pride and love. I was so very lucky to have had a 43 year relationship with a man who cherished me and who I adored. Art was larger than life and meant the world to us,” Shelley LaFleur continued.
