Personal Life
Buzz was the youngest of four sons (Alexander, Harry, Leslie "Dick", and Russell) born to German immigrant Beny and his English wife Lillian. He also had a sister Evelyn. During their youth, the Arlett brothers would often play baseball from sunrise till sundown.
In 1927, Buzz married his first wife Frances, but they separated in 1932, and divorced in 1936. Buzz and Frances never had any children. In court papers, Buzz listed "desertion" as the cause for divorce. In 1936, Buzz married Vivian Johnson who was secretary to Minneapolis Millers owner, Mike Kelly. They had two children: a son and a daughter.
After retiring from baseball, Artlett owned and operated a successful restaurant and bar in Minneapolis called Arlett's Place. Artlett's Place sponsored its own baseball team where Buzz would participate as player until the early 1940s.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience ... not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
