Edward Kennedy lost his year-long battle with cancer on Tuesday evening.
Kennedy was one of the most influential senators in US history. He will be sorely missed by not only those that loved him, but also by the Democratic party. He was an avid campaigner on issues of social justice, fairness, and opportunity.
His personal philosophy is seen in the following statement:
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on. The cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."
You can view his Senate record here. You can read the Kennedy family statement here. And, you can read the news as relayed by The Washington Post here.
May the man now rest in peace.
