Arnold Schwarzenegger Emotional Tribute to Ted Kennedy
California Governor and husband to Maria Kennedy Shriver Arnold Schwarzenegger paid a tribute to late U.S. Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, who died on Tuesday. Ted, a Democrat, the last brother to be alive of the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy died at age of 77 after an arduous battle with brain cancer.
Schwarzenegger was devastated when he knew the news about Ted passing away citing him as “the rock of the Kennedy family whose legacy will live on”. In a more complete statement the Governor said “Maria and I are immensely saddened by the passing of Uncle Teddy. He was known to the world as the Lion of the Senate and a champion of social justice”.
“Most importantly, he was the rock of our family: a loving husband, father, brother and uncle. He was a man of great faith and character. Teddy inspired our country through his dedication to health care reform, his commitment to social justice, and his devotion to a life of public service.
“I have personally benefited and grown from his experience and advice, and I know countless others have as well. Teddy taught us all that public service isn’t a hobby or even an occupation, but a way of life and his legacy will live on.”
This is the second death in the Kennedy Family, a few days ago Maria’s mother passed away.
