Ricci R. Beam, age 75, passed away suddenly on Thursday, February 26, 2026, with his family by his side.

Born on April 10, 1950, in Bethlehem, PA, Ricci lived a life defined by kindness, humility, and quiet dignity.

After graduating from Boonton High School, he went on to work for Welsh Farms, where he remained a dedicated employee until his retirement.

Ricci was a loving husband, brother, and uncle who cherished his family deeply. He was known for his gentle nature, down-to-earth personality, and the steady, respectful way he carried himself throughout his life.

Ricci was predeceased by his mother, Blanche (nee-Beam) Smith; his stepfather, Charles Smith; and his father, Victor Hallowell.

Survivors include his loving wife, Maida (Freese) Beam; his brother, Chris Beam; and his sister, Nancy Wright and her husband, Erick. He also leaves behind his nephew, John Ventres and his wife, Jennifer, along with their children; his niece, Michella Ventres Tabrys and her husband, Jason; and his cousins, Roseann, Ella, Carol, and Jimmy.

Ricci will be remembered for his warm heart, his gentle spirit, and the quiet strength with which he lived his life. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
