It is with a sad heart that I write this post. Pender Kender aka Mac, has passed away. He was a fighter, surviving 4 cancers in 8 years. He was one of the greats, both in our game and out in the "real world" where he seemed to do good wherever he went. He was a veteran of the Air Force, and received a purple heart. He was a big homeless advocate in his hometown, and coordinated the local shelter there. He was loved dearly, and is missed by many, I am sure.
A brief candle,both ends burning
An endless mile, a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird You're free at last.
