Matthew Anthony Kenny

Matt was such a nice man. He would come into the Y where I worked and stop and talk to me at the desk. He always brought me a treat and asked me to hook his fit bit on his wrist. We shared a lot of stories, him being from the New York and New Jersey area, and me having family there. He will be missed. RIP

matt was a great guy knew him from when he lived in turtle woods and he was and frequent ymca guy rode many cata bus rides together and will be miss by all the bus crew

I knew him from the neighborhood, Little League, and I sat right in front of him in homeroom for four years in HS. A 'Character', if there ever was one.

Among the many great Matty memories:
Eighth grade - Matty and Rocco Mele were the referees for the Student/Faculty basketball game. Matty calls a foul on Mr. Brody. Brody wasn't happy. Now they're nose to nose screaming at each other, with Matty back peddling. Just when it seemed the student body couldn't get any louder, Matty blows his whistle in Brody's face, spins to the scorers table, and signals a 'T' (technical foul) on him. Fun-Nee. What a guy !

Matt and I became friends in high school. It didn´t matter if you were in sports music or a gearhead, he was a friend to all We caught up at the 50th and it was like yesterday. Of course first words were " you gotta come to Disney". We laughed that night like we were in school. I will miss you MattUuuu and so will everyone else that you graced with your life

Matt was an amazing Man. He loved to take walks and work out at the YMCA. He always had a bright Irish smile for all he saw! I will miss your beautiful energy and your bright Irish Eyes!!!

Too many!!!!!

My world is so dark right now. If you knew were blessed to know Matt, you know his legacy will live on.

I knew Matty from the THS Class of '71. Here is a picture of him (far right) with some of his pals, at our 40th reunion in 2011. You could hear his laugh across the room.

May he rest in peace, and his family and close friends find comfort in their memories of him.

Rest in Peace MattMan. So many great memories from our time together in Florida. Generous, witty, kind and always good for a joke and laugh, are just a few things that made Matt the awesome man he was.

Matt was a long time employee and friend - he always knew how to make guests feel special. We will all miss you brother.

His flirtations back in Jr. high School. His getting busted by my Dad in the bushes in front of my house in Tenafly when I invited him to party with other friends after my parents left. His honest apology to my Dad, who liked him as much as we all did!
He was a very loyal and wonderful friend from the time we met and for always!

I knew Matty through the frolics of a neighborhood "gang" at a very young age. He on Jefferson and me on Delaney!! Reunited on the high school level, Matty always had a quick smile and his Irish eyes were always twinkling.
He will be missed by all his `71 classmates, including me, who continued to enjoy his spirited personality at class reunions that followed graduation.
My heart goes out to his children, grandchildren and siblings. I knew Kathleen throughout our years in Tenafly.
May he rest in peace and may you all find strength through your memories of Matty. Janet (Mase) Mason Leeson

We met Matt 20 years ago at The Palm in Orlando. Our friendship grew over a drink and much talk at that bar. He felt like family. The one thing he always shared with us over the years was his love for his daughters. We always got to see the latest pictures of his girls in their dance costumes. He was a very proud poppa . He will be missed.
Love you Matt Man
Julie & Johnny G.

Meeting him at The Orbit Inn and realizing immediately that I liked him
