He was a true blue Old School Liberal Democrat and was fearless and unrelenting in his support for progressive causes, but at the same time pragmatic and a deal maker. Most importantly, a gentleman. I attend funerals of local service members who have died in our recent conflicts. Four years ago, there was a Marine in Southbridge whose family I knew who died in Iraq. It was a cold rainy day in November and at the grave side ceremony I glanced around and there was Ted Kennedy, standing all by himself with one aide, attending the burial of a fallen Marine. The only politician there. I later found out that he attended every single funeral and grave side ceremony for every military member from Massachusetts who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Always by himself accompanied by one aide. That's leadership regardless of politics. |
