Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy passed away on August 25, 2009 from a brain tumor. He had served almost 47 years in the United States Senate from Massachusetts and has often been called "the Lion of the Senate". Kennedy was a master legislator. He was able to reach across the isle to Republicans, even though he was known as one of the most liberal members of the Senate. Ted was a very close friend to Repulican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah.
