Letter: Kirby’s plainspeak, humor and religious clarity hit the spot

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Salt Lake LDS Temple and the Utah State Capitol are seen together, Wednesday, July 26, 2017.

Please pass on our thanks to Robert Kirby for his plainspeak and unsanitized and funny columns. We’ve taken The Tribune since 1979 and began enjoying his refreshing take soon after.

I benefited from his religious clarity. I am LDS with a nonmember husband and 2 (out of 3) religiously disgruntled children.

His words: “Forever is God’s business;” “One of the great ironies of religion occurs when worry over the next life screws up this one;” don’t “become the prod in prodigal;” and, when we let our sadness mess up our relationships, “consider the very real possibility that you’re an idiot.”

Thank you, Mr. Kirby. You will be missed.

Kathy and Eric Blommer, Taylorsville
