The Pines Figure Skating Club was so saddened to hear of Coach Rob’s death. We offer our thoughts and prayers to Rob’s family and friends.

We are thinking of you and your family everyday and we are so sorry for your loss. May memories of Robert comfort you and bring you peace.

May God Bless You Rob in heaven. Prayers from all over the World have been sent to Rob’s Wife and 3 children. He was a great guy, full of Love for all he touched. We as former Ice Dog family will sorely miss him. He was our favorite hockey player. God Bless to all who got to touch a piece of his Big Heart.

We love you Daddy. Forever we will remember you.

We have known Rob since the early days at Sport -O-Rama, through Bosco, and Northeastern, and the minors, and as great a player as he was, he was an even better person. His smile and his laugh will be sorely missed. We pray for strength for his entire family in the weeks and months ahead. We didn’t get to see him nearly enough, yet we miss him already.

For anyone who’s ever wondered how hockey can mean so much to us…it’s not just the about the hockey…it’s about getting to know and spend time with people like Rob.

Janelle, Sean, Ryan and Ella,

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you all my love and sympathy. I will always remember Rob’s gentle smile and his love for his family.

We extend our thoughts and prayers to Rob’s family

during this most difficult time. We were fortunate to

have known Rob during his days as a Binghamton

Ranger. We will always remember his as a truly

personable and caring young man.

Sincerely,

Bob and Kathy Carr and Family

Janelle, Ryan, Sean, and Ella,

My deepest sympathy to you at this very difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It was my pleasure to know Rob and a joy to watch him with his children at St. Paul Pre-School. God’s blessings and love to you.

Miss Darlene

Janelle & Family, my heart goes out to you and your family at this time. I have such fun memories of Rob while he was with us in Long Beach. He was always a good sport at the booster club meeting and all of our questions. Along, with a great smile and teasing ways of us Jenn, Robbin, Jackie, Tino and myself in the merchandise booth, pre and post game. He was always willing to help, whenever we needed. He will be greatly missed.

-Lisa

Sending my thoughts, prayers and energy to Janelle and the kids. I was fortunate to have spent many fun times with you guys back in LA. Always with a smile, Rob could always light up the room. I am terribly saddened to hear about your loss. I know he will forever live on through your kids and the love you had for one another.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. He will be truly missed.

His passing is a great loss. We share the grief of his mother.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

In was truly an honor to have Rob coach Michael. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kenny family.

Rob you were one of the few whom could comfort our Family with your unique smile. We will miss you dearly and may you rest in peace.

Rob the lessons in patience and perseverance you taught our son through your kindness and great hockey knowledge will always be remembered. May God be with you during your journey through the heavens & may he guide your family during these tough times. You will be missed by all.

Rob will serve as an inspiration to our family for the rest of our lives, and we will greatly miss his friendship, kindness and infectious humor. His picture hangs in our boys room as a reminder to how truly special he was to all of us, and we are all better people for knowing him.

We will continue to keep his family in our thoughts and prayers, and miss him terribly.

You certainly were an integral part of our family from the 16AAA to Prague – you made a lasting impression on Jeremy and the rest of our family. Dennis will never forget what you said about him carrying water bottles it is not who you are it is why you volunteer. You will always have a special place in our hearts and your son wears great pads! Leslie Dennis & Jeremy

We are so deeply saddened by this tragic news. Our son was in Rob’s wife Janelle’s class this past year and we are very sad to learn of his passing.

“Most Merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding,

please surround the Kenny family with your love, that they may not be overwhelmed by their loss but have confidence in your goodness

and strength to face the days to come. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.”

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with Janelle, Ryan, Sean and Ella. Please know that we are thinking of you. xo

The Juergens Family

When Rob was teaching my son to skate some years back, I can remember watching him pick the kids up after falling, dusting them off and telling them to keep going. The best way we can all honor Rob is to keep this same perseverance in hockey and all aspects of our lives. God bless Rob and the Kenny family.

I will never forget taking walks with my kids in the neighborhood and always seeing Rob outside with his kids…you could tell they meant everything to him. I will always treasure those special ‘neighborhood’ times with the Kenny family and will never forget his laugh or his smile. All our love and prayers to your beautiful family in this most devastating time.

Rob was one of the happiest and friendliest guys I ever knew. I had the pleasure of playing with him for 4 years at Northeastern and will always remember the smile and laugh he greeted people with. To all his family our prayers are with you.

Jay Schiavo and family.

We are sending peace and love. Lifting you up in prayer.

To the Kenney family: I am so sorry for your loss. Rob was one of my favorite people in the world. He was always there for you and put others ahead of himself. He made a difference not only in the lives of the young men he coached but the friends he made throughout the years. He was gracious in defeat just as he was gracious in victory. He had a smile that would light up a room and the heart of a lion. You always sensed he had and always will have your back. I will miss him very much. God bless you all!

To the Kenny family: We are sorry for your loss. Rob was a great neighbor and friend. We will miss him being outside in the street playing with the kids. He will be missed!! God Bless

We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to spend Zachary’s first year of travel hockey with Coach Rob. He is a mentor and a true friend. His lasting impression on our son will remain with him forever. As we look at our season video from the mites how wonderful the memories we all made together. Janelle, Ryan, Sean & Ella thank you for allowing us to get to be a part of all of your lives. Rob will be deeply missed.

We send our warmest thoughts and love to Rob’s family at this time. We will always use our experiences with Rob as examples of a generous heart. Rob spent 5 days working with the Florida hockey girls in a special camp and when I gave him his check, he handed it back to me and told me to buy more ice for the girls because it was his honor to work with them. His kindness and joy for the kids and the game were always visible to everyone.

A true American. Always willing to help those who needed it. Selfless. Robby will be missed by all who knew him.

We were so sorry to hear about Rob, he was a neat guy!!

We were so sorry to hear about Rob, he was a neat guy!!

We were so sad to hear of Rob’s passing. Please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss. Rob always had kind words to say, always willing to lend a helping hand and all with a smile on his face. We feel priviledged to have Rob coach Tyler in the last hockey season. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Through out our sons hockey years, we never came across a better coach, friend and mentor than Coach Rob. Words can not express our sorrow when we heard of his passing. Rob was a man that thought of others before himself.

Our prayers go out to his family at this very difficult time. Rob was everyones guardian on and off the ice, now he is their angel above watching over each and everyone. Thank you for the memories.

My thoughts are with the Kenny family. My words won’t tell you how sorry I am. I will miss seeing Rob at the ice rink. I find this hard to believe. It’s getting more difficult to understand why the good ones like Rob are going away so early. He was such a joy to talk to when ever I would bump into him. He had such a calming demeanor. His smile and grin is one that I will never forget. We have lost a good person.

I’m so sorry.

Dave Kessel

Ryan Sean and Ella,

Your daddy loved you so very much! I will always remember him bringing Sean and little Ella to preschool, a big teddy bear of a man with a smile on his face, kind words on his lips, and a heart full of love for his family. He is in heaven with all the angels watching over your mommy and you. God bless you and keep you in his care.

Rob was a good player! Also, he was a good man. A family man who worked hard on and off the ice. I remember watching Rob play with the Matadors more than ten years ago. He will be missed but remembered now–forever!

Robby was an amazing person and will truly be missed. He will live in our hearts forever.

I knew Rob when I lived in Los Angeles and used to tape the games in Boxie’s office. Rob was a real personable guy and always had time to stop and sign an autograph or talk with the fans. He always had time for a chat and a smile.He will surely be missed. My condolescenes go out to Janelle and his family. Peace.

My son Chris was fortunate enough to play for Rob for two years in travel hockey, and Rob touched his life. A tremendously devoted guy, Rob loved his beautiful wife and kids, and yet he also gave so much of his time to our kids, the ones that he coached! Rob was a super person, fun loving, caring, determined, kind, and an all around great guy. He will be very sorely missed and we were better off for having known Rob.

My condolences go out to his wife, parents, kids, family, and his friends, including the guys at their hockey group, and his best friend Pete, with whom he played in high school at Don Bocso in New Jersey.

It is such a terrible loss!

With Deepest Sympathies,

Tom Anderson

Toni, Mike, Janelle, Ryan, Sean, Ella and the extended family:

My heart is heavy for all of you. Rob is on top of my prayer list. I know all of you have your own personal angel now.

I am here for you if you need anything.

Janelle, Ryan, Sean and Ella:

Our hearts are with you during this difficult time. We will remember Rob with his warm smile, great heart and dedication to his children. Your daddy will always be with you in every moment in your lives. Love transcendes everything.

With our deepest condolecences,

The Villarroel Family

Rob was a great coach and role model for the youth hockey players. It was always a pleasure to officiate his games as his teams were disciplined and played together as a team unit.

He also had a smile and funny comment during the course of the game. It was a pleasure to see him in the rink.

His memory will forever be in my heart and throughout the hockey community.

My prayers and condolences to his family.

It has been many years since I last saw Rob. I knew him back when he played for the Long Beach Ice Dogs. He was an amazing person, there weren’t many like him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will truly be missed.

For Ella and her family, We were deeply saddened to hear about your father. We hope you will find comfort in the love and memories that he gave you all, but know that it is a very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rob was a great teammate and friend. Heartfelt condolences to family and friends. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

All our Love And Prayers To Family and Friends, God Bless ..The Oakvik’s

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I will always remember Rob as a great friend, teammate and roommate. I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

This is such a tragic loss for the Kenny family and for the hockey world! We have known Rob for as long as our son has played hockey in South Florida over 5 years and he was always there with a warm and caring heart and a great smile on his face. He will truly be missed!

Rest in Peace Rob!

Rob’s kindness and humor were a gift to all who knew him. We are deeply saddened by his loss. Our prayers are with Janelle, family, and Rob’s many good friends.

For Ryan, Sean and Ella,

“Fathers hold their children’s hands for just a little while… and their hearts forever.”

It was a massive shock to hear about Rob’s passing very very sad : Rob spent a year in England playing for the London Knights great human being and one of the best players to ever play in this country from every ice hockey fan in the UK R.I.P Rob our thoughts are with your family as the London Knights fans use to sing Kenny is our leader kenny is our leader la la la la

We would like to send out to the Kenny Family our deepest sympathy for your loss. Rob was such an inspiration to our son and a good friend to our family. We feel so grateful to have had him in our lives. He will live forever in our hearts. Phil,Kaprice & Matt

Words cannot express the sadness that we feel at the loss of Rob Kenny. He was a wonderful man that touched the lives of everyone that knew him. He made the world a better place and I feel honored to have known him and called him my “friend”. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Janelle, their children, and family.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

There is nothing that we can say that has not already been said about Rob. He always made time to share a handshake and a smile, no matter what was going on around him. He will be greatly missed by all he knew. God Bless the Kenny family. Our prayers and thoughts are with them.

We were deeply saddened to hear the news about Rob. He was a great man and someone who gave everything he had. I know all his friends in Jersey will sorely miss him. Janelle – may God be with you during these tough times and help Ryan, Sean and Ella remember their father for the great man that he was.

We are so sad to hear about Robby. We pray that God’s immense love will comfort the entire family during thier mourning. He will surely be missed by us all.

I coached hockey camps with Rob at Fairfax Ice Arena in Fairfax VA. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Rob was an outstanding guy on and off the ice.

Rob lived in my parent’s house when he played for the Rangers. My kids thought he was the greatest. He was always so kind to them. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. RIP

Coach Rob was such an amazing person, and we will surely be missed. Its amazing to see how many lives he has touched. Our prayers are with his wife and children.

I had the pleasure of playing with Rob in Miami. He was such a great player and even greater person. We were roomates on the road and many nights were spent talking about the anticipation of his first child. I have not seen Rob since leaving Miami but can only imagine how truly wonderful a father he was. I was blessed to have known him and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

My condolences to the family of a great man, mentor , friend and coach. He will be missed. R I P.

The one thing about hockey is that it is a small tight knit family. I was lucky enough to get to know Rob and his family the 3 years I spent in Florida. He always had a smile on his face and I will never forget the funny stories he told in the locker room while playing mens league hockey. I will miss him!

My prayers are with you.

Rob was a great mentor and teammate during the year we played together in Long Beach. His sense of humour and laugh were infectious. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Janelle and the kid’s at this very difficult time. Rob’s spirit will live on through all the people he touched.

We were very blessed to have Rob as a member of our family. He made family gatherings all the more fun with his generosity and great sense of humor. He was one of a kind. We will miss him very much. Our love, prayers, and support go out to my sister, their children, his mother and brother. We love you all, Stephanie & Robert Ferry.

Our prayers are with the entire Kenny family. Thank you Rob for teaching our son Jake how to get better on and off the ice. We’ll miss your smile and of course that laugh.

Dear Miss Toni , Sis aka Janelle, and Mike

I am jealous because you got to know Robbie all of his life and i only got to know him for a short while. Now that he has passed I realize that you have to hold on to your loved ones as there is no “75 year ticket” – you have to love them like there is no tomorrow, because really, there is no tomorrow. One thing Robbie taught me is to become closer to my family.

I used to worry about my sister, going out with some dumb hockey player, me being the,great wrestler I was, but he stood up to me and i knew my sister was in good hands. And I never ever worried because i knew she was safe.

The questions in life: why are we here? This man coached a lot of troubled boys and a lot of boys that had gifts, but the one thing that he gave was the gift of having someone believe in them. So with this I say if you can change one person’s life, just one, past or present, your mission has been accomplished.

Thank you Robbie Kenny for having the chance to know you and for being a great husband to my sister and father to my nephews and niece.

And to the tough guy who I call my sis, I love you, I miss you, and to the three musketeers I call my nephews and niece, I’ll be there, just call.

Special thanks to Andrew for sticking with my sister during this hard time.

Emotionally this is a hard time and people say a lot of things, but I want to say that we need to be true to ourselves and what we say and learn from this and never forget.

Love, Michael

Rob Kenny was the best Coach and friend that I had during my time with the Golden Wolves. In fact, Coach Rob was the best coach that I ever had during my hockey career. He taught me almost everything I know about hockey, and helped me become a more classy, respected, hockey player. I admired and respected him. He is going to be greatly missed by me and my family. Not only is this a loss to my family, but he is going to be missed throughout the hockey world in South Florida. I would like to express my sympathy to Rob’s family. We will miss you, Coach, and I’ll be thinking about you every time I step on the ice. R.I.P.

I had the pleasure to meet Rob and Janelle, and have them as neighbors. Unlike many others that had the opportunity to know Rob as the player or the coach, I had the opportunity to meet Rob as the parent, the one who many times was playing with his kids outside, and spending quality time with them. Rob, you will be missed. Our prayers are with the Kenny’s.

Ivan and Karen Jurado

I never met Rob. I did watch him play for the Solar Bears, the brief time he was there.

There’s a certain point where hockey fans tend to crystallize in their minds who ‘their’ team is. The standard they set in their youth, and every other team, every year, is compared to. Mine happened to be the 99′ Solar Bears.

Rob quickly became a favorite of mine, largely because of his style of play. So much so, that as a young forward, I tried to emulate him in particular, probably more than anybody. As odd as I know it sounds.

I only found out about his passing today. I also only found out about him having coached today. I guess I did emulate him after all.

I was a team mate of Robs in Waterloo. I just found out about the tragic accident.I am very sorry for your loss. Rob was a very happy person with a great sense of humor. He was the first person I’ve met from the east coast.I was eighteen at the time. I could never get enough of Rob and Jon Roses antics.One time we were in a Mcdonalds and they decided they would be a mafia type family.It was like a Saturday Night Live skit. They were arguing very loud with an over exaderated east coast accent. Once again I’m very sorry for your loss.

Its been almost 7 months, there is not a minute that goes by that we do not remember you Robby and hold you in our hearts. We will miss you for the rest of our lives and hope that somehow, you are able to see the kids as they continue to walk on this journey. We want to thank everyone who has written such beautiful notes on this page. I am printing this for the kids, so that they will always be able see the many people whose hearts their daddy touched. Thank you for your continued prayers.

With love,

Janelle, Ryan, Sean and Ella

you were the best dad ever we miss u so much u make me so happy when i think of you

we miss you dad we pray for you every day com back our team says you rock. we think your the best coach ever we lose we win you make our luck we love you sean.

I can’t believe how much time has passed since you were taken from all of us. You would’ve really gotten a chuckle out of the little boys this past hockey season! Sean and Christian became very good friends and had a dynamic season ending it by winning Sahof! Sean is JUST LIKE YOU! You would’ve been so proud. You were there with us all the way. Kyle really missed having you on the bench this past year. He talks about you all the time.

Jeff misses your voice of reason and your since of humor that always kept things in perspective.

You are truely missed by so many. You will always be in our hearts and we will never forget you. We miss you,Rob.

To the loved ones of Robert Kenny, you don’t know me but my father passed away on the same day as Rob. He had stomach cancer but had surgery and was cancer free, but his ontcologist convinced him to do a precautionary round of chemo and the chemo took his life. Anyway, I was writing to tell you that on the same day your world changed so did mine and in reading about your son I found the coincidence all to cosmic. My father was an avid Rangers fan till the day he died and I work in the NHL. On that date I was in Carolina working for the Hurricanes – today I work for the The Florida Panthers – my father guided me and my family home to be there for Mom. So I write to let you know that our lives are linked in tragedy but I offer to you a chance if you’d ever like to attend a Panthers game on me.

I am sorry for your loss and hope this offer can provide a smile and future smiles for you. God Bless.

Janelle, you might not remember us – my sister and I and our parents lived next door to you and Rob on Ocean Blvd in LB back in the Ice Dogs days. We were so sad to hear about Rob, and wanted to send our most sinceer condolances. Reading through all the comments here, even though it’s been 20 years or so, obviously not much had changed! We will always remember Robs infectiously positive outlook and kind his hearted nature. His legacy lives on in our memories and your 3 beautiful children
