Edward Hale Kendall IV ’59

Ed, a man of many parts and two lives, died June 3, 2002, in Mineola, N.Y., of a heart attack.

Raised in NYC, Ed prepared for Princeton at the Manlius School. At Princeton he served on the Undergraduate Council and the Orange Key, and was a member of Cap & Gown, the 21 Club, and the Kingston Inn. He majored in politics and completed a practicum on bridge and poker.

Following graduation, Ed became a stockbroker and an amateur actor, first in NYC, then in Winter Haven, Fla. After his first marriage to Ulla Westin of Sweden ended in divorce, he returned to the Northeast and, with his second wife, Lea, began his second life. He lived in Allentown, Pa., in southern New Jersey, and finally on the North Fork of Long Island. He worked in human services, managing a girls' club and doing drug and alcohol counseling. For a time he also operated a modeling school; most recently he and Lea had established and operated Kendall Care, which provided in-home pet care.

Ed is survived by his wife, Lea; his son, Thomas; and his daughters, Rebecca and Wendy Biser, to all of whom we send our condolences.
