Larger Than Life, Teddy Kennedy Will Be Greatly Missed
More than any other U.S. Congressman and more than any other American family, Senator Edward Kennedy and his family did more for the disabled and the underprivileged so that they could live and fulfill their dreams!
Senator Kennedy will be greatly missed – a great leader – writer and supporter of many social legislation he was always willing to reach across the aisle to get bills passed. His booming presence and his booming voice almost always secured passage of legislation having to do with the less fortunate, foreign affairs, and the nation.
Teddy Kennedy’s love for life was just as consuming as his infectious laughter and booming voice. He had many attributes: gifted artist; lover of sailing; lover of dogs; a great sense of humor; fun loving and selfless; lover of music; generous; a man of high standards who knew how to work hard. Beloved by family, friends, colleagues, and countrymen, Senator Kennedy was a man of passion, purpose, conviction and of service to others.
His greatest attribute, though, was his kindness and thoughtfulness towards anyone who needed to be uplifted. Senator Kennedy never missed an opportunity to be a friend – always encouraging others. He was usually the first one to call to see how a colleague and others were doing even when he was so sick in the final weeks of his life.
In the end, Senator Teddy Kennedy left the world a better place and his family and friends smiling!
