Arnold Marvin Aaron passed away peacefully on July 24th in Roslindale. He is survived by his beloved wife, Francine (Grossbart), loving sister and brother-in-law Judy and Allan Szathmary, brother and sister-in law Steven and Amira Aaron, niece Barbara Hoffstein and her husband Gary, nephew Bradford Szathmary and his wife Heather, and nephew David Aaron and his wife, Chelsea. Also survived by great-nephews and nieces, Andrew Hoffstein, Rebecca Hoffstein, Isabella Aaron and Jaxon Aaron.

Arnold was raised in Everett, Mass., completing undergraduate studies at M.I.T and receiving his graduate degrees from Northeastern University. Following his marriage to Francine, they moved to Newport, Rhode Island and then to Brookline. They enjoyed travelling to Israel and Europe and attending musical concerts and shows.

From childhood on, Arnold loved books and learning on a wide range of subjects including science, medicine, history and the arts. He was a brilliant engineer, working for the U.S. Navy for his entire career. Arnold possessed a tremendous body of knowledge and was a resource for his family whenever a question arose. He was also a talented pianist and poet, and had a beautiful singing voice. Arnold loved tinkering with electronics and fixing items from brakes to radios!

Arnold was very proud of his Jewish heritage and learned in Jewish religion, ritual and customs. He enjoyed studying Jewish texts with his Rabbi and others, as well as attending and participating in services at his Temples.

In spite of his many accomplishments and keen intellect, Arnold was very modest and quiet. He was also gentle, kind and patient. He will be greatly missed by his loving family.

The family is grateful for the caring staff at Hebrew Senior Life who watched over Arnold during the last few years of his life.
