Edgar S. Kennedy Jr. ’52

Ted died of apparent heart failure at his home in Cos Cob, Conn., Apr. 7, 2003. He grew up in Wayne, Pa., and graduated from the Haverford School. He enlisted in the Navy during junior year, and graduated with the Class of 1956.

Ted had a varied career with IBM, which included working in the Americas and the Far East, and with IBM Credit Corp. Early in his career he and his wife, Linda, moved to Connecticut, where they raised three sons and were involved in many activities. He held successive leadership positions in the Greenwich [Conn.] Presbyterian Church.

After retiring from IBM, Ted started a new company that provided services in writing, editing, and voiceovers for radio. His civic interests also expanded into teaching seniors how to use computers, and using his carpentry skills with Habitat for Humanity.

In our 50th Reunion book, Ted expressed regret at not having a full four years with our class, but showed his loyalty in other ways. Two of his sons graduated from Princeton: Alan '87 and Bruce '92. Son Scott graduated from the College of Wooster.

In addition to Linda and their sons, Ted is survived by two daughters-in-law, two grandsons, and two sisters. The class extends deepest sympathy to the entire family.
