Dear Mr. Pierce,
I can't believe your gone! You were such an amazing producer! In your life time you played piano and produced some of the top legends including Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, and Merrill Haggert to name a few. I'm so glad I had the honor and privilege to have you as my friend and producer on my demo recordings.

Jim had a huge impact on my life from 1973 until forever. He was the kindest and most humble man I have ever known. He was indeed my best friend and confidant in comparison only to one other in this lifetime. Those that loved you knew how true, sincere, kind, loyal and, yes, talented you really were. Those that didn't, missed out. Thank you, my friend...you are on another journey now.

Anyone who didn't know him really missed out. If you were his friend, you know what I mean. RIP my friend. You will never be forgotten. We love you.

You played an important roll in my life from childhood to adulthood. I will always cherish the hours long phone conversations and the amazing stories you told of your life and adventures in Country Music. I will remember the backstage trips to the Grand Ole Opry when I was a little girl. I will cherish the advice you would give me. I will miss you always.
