It is with such sadness that we announce Kenneth D. “Kenny” Arbeeny, Esq. 71, of Scarsdale, New York passed away on June 29, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

Kenny leaves behind his beloved wife, Maureen Grealish Arbeeny, his three devoted children Allison Rickard and husband Timothy Rickard, Audrey Arbeeny and Andrew Arbeeny, as well as two special grandchildren Paul and Kennedy Rickard who affectionately called him “Papa”.  In addition, he leaves his sister Valerie Nemer, and three sisters in law Kathy Cochran, Anne Grealish and Meagan Melville and special niece Madi Melville.  He also cherished all his cousins, nieces, nephews, and his many close friends including his “brothers” Joe Finazzo, Knud Hansen and Doug Wisner.

Kenny was born in Brooklyn, New York, on May 24,1953, to parents Theresa Salgado Arbeeny and Daniel Arbeeny. He graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and Binghamton University (‘74), before attending New York University (MPA, ‘76) and Boston College Law School (J.D., ‘78).

Kenny was also heavily involved in his community, serving as a Volunteer Firefighter for Scarsdale Company 2 for 13 years, as a member of the Board of Directors of The AHRC New York City foundation for many years and as a baseball and softball coach for 26 seasons.   He lived a life in keeping with his favorite quote: “Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you think” (Longfellow). Kenny gave everything to his family, friends, and community.  While he was passionate about coins, classic cars, and his beloved New York Mets baseball team, he truly cared about his family and friends and was so generous of his time and expertise to everyone around him.  His was a legend in so many ways and will forever be remembered for his generous spirit.
