Carmello "Mel" D'Amico

Born on May 16, 1935, in Lynn, Carmello was the beloved son of the late Philipina and Salvatore D'Amico. He was predeceased by his first wife, Rebecca Cole D'Amico, and his sisters, Lena J. D'Amico and Phyllis Tymmons. He is survived by his devoted wife, Robin Lynne M. Losco D'Amico.

Carmello honorably served in the United States military from 1954 to 1959. His service reflected the dedication, integrity, and love of his country that remained with him throughout his life.

Music was one of Carmello's greatest passions. A talented drummer, he began playing the drums in the 1940s, founded the popular band, The Mel Tones, in the 1950s, and started the Continentals Marching Band in the 1960s. He performed with Al Mitchell and, later, with The Blue Notes, bringing joy to countless people through his music. One of his greatest pleasures was entertaining residents at local nursing homes, where his performances brought smiles to so many.

Beyond music, Carmello loved youth baseball and was actively involved in supporting young athletes. Family was the center of his life, and he treasured every moment spent with those he loved.

In recognition of his contributions to music and the community, Carmello was inducted into the Lynn Vocational and Technical Institute Hall of Fame alongside his grandson, Brian D'Amico.

"Mel" will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife, Robin Lynne M. Losco D'Amico; his daughter, Cindy Trentsch; his sons, Salvatore D'Amico, Thomas D'Amico and his wife, Cindy, and Steven D'Amico; and his 10 grandchildren.
