Kennedy, both victims of assassinations, and the father of Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy.
In Memory
Senator Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy - August 25, 2009
Ted Kennedy was, from 1968 on, the most prominent living member of the Kennedy family, and was the last surviving son of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Kennedy was never able to carry on the "Camelot" mystique the same way his fallen brothers had, with much of it disappearing during his failed 1980 presidential bid.Kennedy's body was returned to Washington, D.C. for burial at Arlington National Cemetery near the graves of his brothers. Kennedy's grave marker is identical to his brother Robert's: a white oak cross and a marble white foot marker bearing his full name, year of birth and death.
