As of Thursday, the 78-year-old sports columnist for The Providence Journal, Bill Reynolds, had passed away.

According to the newspaper, Reynolds’ most popular work was his Saturday column titled “For What It’s Worth,” in which he discussed current events in sports, his favorite novels, and his other thoughts.

Throughout his career, he has written several books, including “Hope: A School, A Team, A Dream,” “Fall River Dreams,” “Basketball Junkie,” and “Born to Coach,” co-authored with Rick Pitino.

Prior to his career in journalism, Reynolds was a standout basketball player at Barrington High School and Brown University in the 1960s, according to the Providence Journal.

In the first months of 2021, Reynolds formally left the newspaper industry.

Chris Herren, who was the subject of two of Reynolds’ works, has said that the author has had a “profound impact” on his life.

“He has taught me many lessons in hard work, empathy, service work, giving back, and being selfless,” Herren wrote about the man. God blessed me with him, and I shall be eternally grateful to him.

Herren elaborated, saying, “When I was introduced to him at 15 years old, he was a stranger and journalist and through that process of writing Fall River Dreams he became a constant figure in my life.” When I needed him to be something, he was that. God blessed me with a unique individual.
