Arthur Ronald Damm

It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the passing of Arthur Ronald Damm, aged 77, September 6, 2025, in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.

Arthur was born on June 6, 1948, in Brooklyn, New York, to Eileen Damm (née Ribicoff) and Marvin “Michael” Damm. He was a worldly traveler and placed roots down throughout his life in Brooklyn and Long Island, NY; Jerusalem, Israel; Sydney, AU; Brookline and Wayland, MA, where he raised his children. Arthur attended UMass, Boston, graduated with a degree in Engineering, then went on to build and grow a successful business, Engineered Packaging, Inc., based in Stoughton, MA. After retirement, he settled in the area of West Palm Beach, FL.

Arthur is survived by his beloved wife, Janette Damm (née Graziano), who brought warmth, joy and care into his life in his later years. Arthur was predeceased by his first wife, Nancy Damm (née Berman), the mother of his children, whom he loved dearly. A proud father and grandfather, Arthur leaves behind his children and their spouses, Joshua Damm and his wife Lauren Damm, Benjamin Damm and his wife Meghan Damm, Shelly Fraser and her spouse Sonia Fortin, Tara Boden, Brian Ricci and his husband Frank Ricci; his grandchildren, Rocco, Harper, Jacob, Lennox, Fiona, Declan, and Naomi. He was a loving brother to Harvey Damm, dear nephew of Harriet “Dotty” Rosenholtz (née Damm), and cousin to Paul Rosenholtz and Mitchel Rosenholtz, as well as a cherished friend to many more.

Arthur lived by values that never wavered; a deep respect for every person, an open hand to those in need, and a thoughtful presence in every interaction. He treated everyone—regardless of background, status, or belief—with genuine dignity. Arthur showed us what it means to live with heart and humor; he gave more than he took and left this world that much better for it. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him, may his soul rest in peace.

“The memory of my father is wrapped up in white paper, like sandwiches taken for a day at work. Just as a magician takes towers and rabbits out of his hat, he drew love from his small body, and the rivers of his hands overflowed with good deeds.” — Yehuda Amichai
