Arthur Neil Dubin, 72, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, January 26, 2025 surrounded by family. Beloved husband of Lynn Gendason Dubin for more than 45 years; devoted father to Rachel (Justin) Browder, Zachary (Tracy) Dubin, and Lily (David) Duber; and adored Grandpa to Sylvie, Beau, and Lucy Browder, Perry and Brody Dubin, and Eli Duber. Arthur is also survived by his brother Mark (Darlene) Dubin, and was preceded in death by his sister Eileen Gross, brother Gary Dubin, and parents Freda and Max Dubin.

A native Washingtonian, Arthur developed his business acumen and mathematical prowess first at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School, then at the University of Maryland's School of Business, shooting hoops at courts from Rollingwood to Camp Saginaw in between. Arthur was a pioneer in the condominium and property management field in which he worked for more than 45 years. For nearly 20 years, Arthur was President and CEO of the company he founded—Dubin & Associates, Inc.—which he sold to Zalco Realty, Inc. and served as President of that company and its successor until his well-deserved retirement. In addition to mentoring countless industry professionals, Arthur miraculously found the time to lend his expertise to industry groups, pen countless articles, develop and teach college courses, and serve as an expert witness. Later in life, Arthur jubilantly pursued a second calling as a wedding officiant, presiding over many ceremonies, including his daughter Lily's wedding.

Outside of the office, Arthur was an avid sportsman, excelling in everything from ping-pong, baseball, basketball and, of course, his true love—running. Arthur completed 13 marathons and countless other races, often with his running buddies and children in tow or cheering from the sidelines. Arthur's races took him to locales familiar and exotic—from Big Sur, to New York, to Boston, to Bethesda—and generated a well-loved collection of race t-shirts which he proudly wore. Arthur capitalized on his natural athletic ability by sharing his love of sports with others, coaching his children's teams and the gold-medal-winning girls basketball team at the Maccabi Games, as well as training his beloved dogs Brandy and Jessie to serve as outfielders for many batting practices. He loved the outdoors, whether that meant leading the charge on a hike in Great Falls, demonstrating meditation techniques among the red rocks of Sedona, or holding a grandchild's hand on a walk along the shoreline at Rehoboth Beach.

Arthur and Lynn—whom he met when she was 17—explored the world together, taking in the New Zealand countryside, the wildlife in South Africa, the hills of California, and many places in between. They delighted in the serenity that their home in Rehoboth Beach brought them, filling their summers with long bike rides, walks, and moments basking in the sun.

Besides Lynn, his kids, and running, Arthur's other great love was music. His tastes were wide-ranging, from the tunes he learned in Hebrew School, to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Grateful Dead. Arthur loved to share this passion with others, punctuating early morning school wake-ups and carpools with renditions of Adon Olam, jamming at the multi-day Bonnaroo festival, and attending countless concerts with family and friends.

Although Arthur excelled professionally, his greatest accomplishments were tied to the enduring and genuine relationships he forged. He will be remembered as the patriarch of a burgeoning family—including friends who have become family—composed of people who have never doubted his unending love for them. Arthur was a devoted husband, a present and supportive father, a joyful grandparent, and a loyal friend. We will miss his sunny disposition and thousand-watt smile.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Washington Hebrew Congregation, 3935 Macomb Street NW, Washington, DC 20016 with internment immediately after at King David Memorial Gardens, 7482 Lee Highway, Falls Church, Virginia 22042. Shiva will be observed on January 29th and 30th at the home of Rachel and Justin Browder, with the family receiving at 6pm and Minyan at 7pm, 7412 Nevis Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.
