Arthur Flamm Obituary

FLAMM, Arthur Joseph 87 of Palm Beach Gardens, FL went to his rest on Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Arthur served in the United States Navy during the WWII, was a graduate of Cornell University and Harvard Law School. During his working life, his goal was to better the lives of working men and women as a dedicated labor lawyer. He was highly respected by both his clients and his peers. In 1988, the Archdiocese of Boston presented him with the Cushing Gavin Award for excellence in labor management relations, "exemplifying moral integrity, professional competence, impartial service and community concern." In May 1996, in recognition of his 70th birthday, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Senate presented him with an Official Citation of Congratulations both for his birthday and for his continuing success in his chosen field of labor law. Arthur was the beloved husband to Ruth Flamm (nee Kunels), loving father to Laurie (Barry) Bochner, Robert (Frederique) Flamm and Richard (Karin) Flamm and adoring grandfather to Aaron and Elizabeth Bochner and Derrick Flamm. He was dearly loved by his family and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
