Was the father (Joe Kennedy) still alive then? I’ve hard and read that he was most definitely not a nice guy, and if he was alive then, I’m sure he used every means available to protect his son (including anything devious).
He died 11/69.
•Born: 6 September 1888
•Birthplace: Boston, Massachusetts
•Died: 19 November 1969 (complications from stroke)
•Best Known As: Millionaire father of president John Kennedy
He founded the Kennedy fortune by beingne of the most successful bootleggers during the Probibition days, and was an ardent admirer of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime.
Joe Kennedy was an apologist for the Nazis. He was our “ambassador” in England before the war, and in addition to cheating on his wife with as many women as possible, he publicly stated that the Nazi war regime couldn’t be beaten.
Joe was horrible and schooled his sons to be the same. He was a total perv who actually hit on his sons’ girlfriends and an endless array of other women. He got his comeuppance when he had a stroke and could only utter the word “No” for years afterwards while faithful Rose tended to his every need. He’d get all flustered trying to communicate, flailing his arms. But after the stroke, he was forever after trapped and unable to control/manipulate people anymore.
Yep. Teddy murdered Mary Jo on July 19, 1969. Joe Kennedy died November 18, 1969.
