Kennedy wore a back brace for years as a result of a back injury he suffered in college. The injury was further exacerbated on the night of Aug. 1, 1943 when his PT boat, the 109 was rammed by the Japanese destroyer “Amagiri’’ and Kennedy was slammed against the wheelhouse. Kennedy also suffered from Addison’s disease.
