Arnold Stymest (3/1/1929-12/2/2020) was born in Arlington, MA to Sadie and Francis Stymest. Raised and educated in Randolph, MA.

He started his path to his career as a pilot at the age of 16, working his way up to Executive Director of the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission from 1980 to 1989 where he retired. He spent the remainder of his working years managing airports with Gale Associates, Inc. Flying continuously and safely for at least 50 years, he was awarded the Wright Brothers Master Pilot award. Arnie’s impact in the Aeronautics field was immeasurable.

Marylou Stymest (4/18/1936-12/13/2020) was born in Boston, MA to Elizabeth and James Graham. Raised and educated in Randolph, MA.

A retired nurse and avid gardener, she had a steadfast and unwavering spirit that was evident in her work and her involvement in the town of Stoddard up until her passing. Her spunky personality will be missed by all.

Arnie and Marylou were married September 1953 and resided in Randolph, MA until their retirement to Swanzey, NH and eventually Stoddard, NH. Their love for each other was as strong as it was unique. They found joy in each other's company whether it was enjoying a play or drinking tea at 3 in the morning. They always made time for friends and family, from a trip to Canada to a Sunday brunch, or just dinner at home.

There will be no services at this time. The family will hold a private service in the Spring.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in their names to the Town of Stoddard (1450 Route 123 North, Stoddard, NH 03464), a town they had such great pride in.
