THOMAS KENNY Obituary

CORRECTION KENNY, Thomas Charles Thomas C. Kenny, 83, of Falmouth, MA, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on January 10, 2025. Born in Cambridge, MA, he was the youngest child of Maurice and Margaret Kenny and grew up in Arlington, spending summers in Scituate. Tom was happily married to Mary Ann (Scannell) Kenny for 55 years; and was the proud father of Susan Roman, married to Seth Roman of Falmouth and of Sarah Kenny Rabasco, married to Michael Rabasco of Washington, DC. Tom's family, particularly Mary Ann, his children and his grandchildren, Max, Abby, Julia and Eliza Roman and Lexi Rabasco, were the most important part of his life and brought him immense happiness. Tom will be remembered as a smart, generous and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, with a terrific sense of humor. He had a remarkable career as an attorney in Falmouth for over 40 years, with clients seeking his wise counsel and entrusting some of their most important dealings to his care. Tom not only served his clients well, he also quietly volunteered his time with pro bono work and encouraged people around him to take a stand for what is right while treating others with respect and kindness. In addition to his successful career, Tom is well-known to many as an author of novels set in the Boston area and based on his broad and varied interests. Prior to launching his legal career, Tom graduated from Boston College and received a JD from Suffolk University Law School. He was admitted to the bar in Massachusetts, Florida and the U.S. Supreme Court. He also served in the Army reserves for many years before moving to the Cape. As well as his wife, children and grandchildren, Tom is survived by his sister, Marilyn Connelly of Milton; his brother-in-law, Neil Scannell of Falmouth; many nieces and nephews and other in-laws. He iwa predeceased by his brothers, John and Robert; and his brother-in-law, John Connelly.
