PROVIDENCE—Rep. Patrick Kennedy has postponed or canceled all scheduled events this week following the death of his father, Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Kennedy’s spokeswoman, Kerrie Bennett, said Monday that all of the congressman’s events this week have been put off.
The Rhode Island Democrat had been scheduled to hold a town hall meeting on health care on Thursday.
On Wednesday, he was supposed to deliver the keynote speech to a group of college administrators on preparedness for swine flu.
The elder Kennedy passed away last week. Rep. Kennedy spoke at his father’s funeral on Saturday in Boston. The senator was then laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.

Boy, I wish I could be around for Patches to have a Town Hall Meeting.
Can you imagine anything coming out of his mouth that made any sense!
Don’t worry, he will have to change his who style of doing anything now that daddy has departed this world and none too soon.
Patches, go take some “prescription” medication or some booze to ease you acing heart!
