Senator Edward Ted Kennedy died

Senator Edward Ted Kennedy has died (1932-2009). He was the last of the political clan of the Kennedy family.

He was a Massachusets senator. A Democrat. An American icon. He was a model of public service.

Statement of the Kennedy family:

"Edward M. Kennedy – the husband, father, grandfather, brother and
uncle we loved so deeply – died late Tuesday night at home in Hyannis
Port. We’ve lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous
light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and
perseverance will live on in our hearts forever. We thank everyone
who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who
stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress
toward justice, fairness and opportunity for all. He loved this
country and devoted his life to serving it. He always believed that
our best days were still ahead, but it’s hard to imagine any of them
without him."

Rest in Peace, Senator Edward Ted Kennedy.
