With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Arthur Ritchey Stagg Jr., M.D. on June 22, 2023. Dr. Stagg was not only a respected physician but also a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend.

Born on November 4, 1938, in Natick, MA, Dr. Stagg received his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and his medical degree from Harvard University.

Following his discharge, he joined his father in family practice in Medfield, MA. Dr. Stagg is survived by his loving wife Lois Francine Payne and their two sons, Peter Stagg and his wife Kim Stagg of Norfolk, MA, and Greg Stagg and his wife Tracy Stagg of Grapevine, TX. He was a devoted grandfather to Ryann and Brooke Stagg, and Sydney & Grant Stagg.

While Dr. Stagg achieved many professional milestones, his family always remained his top priority, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He was known for his gentle demeanor, unwavering dedication to his patients, and commitment to improving the lives of others.
