Many of you already know that Kent Leung passed away this month. After
battling cancer for a number of years, he died at home with his family by
his side on March 15.
Often hindsight gives additional clarity to some of what we experience.
After hearing of Kent's passing, I had one of those "Now I get it." moments
and feel I should share it with you.
About 1 month before Kent passed away he dropped in to the club on a round
robin day, I think it was a Sunday. I was busy with doing club stuff and
told him that round robin had already started. He responded by saying that
he did not come for round robin, and that he would not be able to play any
more. He then explained that he was sick and had cancer. He spent some time
talking to people and asked about the whereabouts of some players who were
not there that day. When he left, I shook his hand and said that I would
pray for him. He said, "Thank You". His demeanor was very peaceful he did
not seem sad or worried at all.
At the time I did not recognize the significance of what Kent was saying, or
why he was there. I was thinking to myself, "Yea, I know chemo can really
take it out of you. I suppose he wont feel up to playing for a while."
I felt I should share this, since many of you at the club were Kent's
friends and I thought you should know that you and the club were important
enough to him that he took the time to drop in and say goodbye.
I found a Youtube video of Kent winning at the Bay Area Senior games and you
can view it here: http://www.alamedattc.org/index.html
You can find Kent's obituary and leave messages for his family by searching

Sad, he looks in 60s.
Well hope the departed joined others in peace now, where we are all destined
to be.
Life is so short, no one should be acting like an asshole who I argued with
yesterday... | c**l
