I was shocked and so very sorry to hear that Scott Pierce had passed away.
I’ve been a subscriber to The Salt Lake Tribune for almost four decades, since I arrived in Utah, and these days I relish getting the printed paper on Wednesday (the Midweek edition) and on Saturday (the Sunday edition).
On Saturdays, after a browse through the editorials (never missing Pat Bagley’s brilliance), I would go to The Mix and look for Scott’s column.
Recently, I appreciated the article he wrote about the end of “The Good Doctor.” I have been a strong fan of that show and the many challenges that these characters are faced with, and I am sad to see it end, so I was particularly gratified to know that Scott, too, saw the value of this show.
For what it’s worth, please add my appreciation for his wisdom, compassion, humor, and appreciation for the art of good storytelling and what it does for all of us. It builds empathy, and that is what gets us past our differences, which is so very important, particularly at this time.
My best to his friends and colleagues.
