Edmund Michael Reggie, Sr. (July 19, 1926 – November 19, 2013), was an American Democratic politician and city judge from Louisiana.
Reggie was born in the rice-growing city of Crowley, the seat of government of Acadia Parish in southwestern Louisiana, but resided in his later years in Lafayette. He claimed to have been the youngest person ever to have served as a judge in American history. He was the second father-in-law of the late U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who was only six years Reggie's junior.
Reggie was of Lebanese descent. In 1946, he received a bachelor's degree from the Southwestern Louisiana Institute in Lafayette, since the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. In 1949, he procured his law degree from the Tulane University Law School in New Orleans.
Reggie was married to the former Doris Ann Boustany (born July 18, 1930), the daughter of businessman Frem F. Boustany, Sr. (1903–1993), and the former Beatrice Joseph (1912–1988). Doris was born in Lafayette and graduated with honors from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Beatrice Boustany was a cousin of Amin Gemayel, a former president of Lebanon. Frem F. Boustany, Jr., a brother-in-law of Edmund Reggie, was a physician who died two months before the passing of his mother, Beatrice.
