A true Gentleman...My first Venice Senior Softball Manager...He let me borrow his Miken Ultra II Bat...Thanks P. W. , it certainly made a difference!...Last time I saw him was at the Venice Softball Facility, about a year ago...as he left I shouted out: “I Love ya P. W.!”...I’m glad I did. ❤️

My first coach, in the senior softball league.  Saddened to hear of his passing.  Whenever the new draft for the next season arrived, he'd talk about drafting me back onto his team.   I would enjoy giving him some old fashioned ribbing, when he failed to do so.  He was a good sport about it.  I was just thinking about him before last week's game and how I hadn't seen him in a while.  It was shortly thereafter, that I heard the news.  I hit an "in the park" homer during the game, pointed up to the heavens and said, "This one's for you, P.W."  He's going to be sorely missed at the ball-fields.    Enjoy heaven, P.W.  I bet it has some great all-fields.

Thank you to all that played a part in this wonderful man's life - my father-in-law was amazing & will be dearly missed.  I've listed his service details below...
Burden, Prentis W

P. W. Burden, 86, of Sarasota, passed peacefully on Sunday, May 19th in Silver Spring, MD following a difficult recovery from hip surgery.

Full Military service to be held on Thursday, May 30th at 1:30 p.m. at Sarasota National Cemetery on State Road 72.

In his retirement, he was an avid golfer and a member of Venice Senior Softball for the past 36 years, where he served on the Board of Directors and managed several teams. He had a love for baseball, and enjoyed rooting for the Kentucky Wildcats, Cincinnati Reds, and Cincinnati Bengals sports teams, and was a Friend of Bill for 49 years. His witty sense of humor, zest for life, and unconditional love for his family will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered.



P.W. was a great friend to me. He was the manager of my team(The Jinxs) in Venice Florida. He was so inspiring to all of my players. He was probably the best manager in the league. He was so patient with all of the players. 5 weeks ago, we won the championship and he was on cloud nine. I will  dearly miss him and his personality.
