District Council 35 Business Manager Jeff Sullivan joined thousands of other labor leaders and union members in mourning the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy.  "On behalf of the membership of District Council 35 I extend our deepest sympathies to the Kennedy family.  Senator Kennedy was our most reliable ally and a true friend of this organization.  Over the years he has helped our union and our members in ways that can't be quantified.  He will be sorely missed." Sullivan said.
