"Paul Harvey was one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our nation’s history. As he delivered the news each day with his own unique style and commentary, his voice became a trusted friend in American households. His career in radio spanned more than seven decades, during which time countless millions of listeners were both informed and entertained by his “News & Comment” and “Rest of the Story” features. Even after the passing of his loving wife Angel in May 2008, Paul would not slip quietly into retirement as he continued to take the microphone and reach out to his audience. We will miss our dear friend tremendously and are grateful for the many years we were so fortunate to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are now with his son Paul Jr. and the rest of the Harvey family. "

Man I will miss that guy.:frown: I remember no matter what I'd be in my truck at work just to hear him at 12:00 every day.

I believe his son is doing them now. He had been doing some of them for awhile if I recall correctly.

I listen to him daily for years until about 1997 when I switched Jobs and could not longer listen.

I really enjoyed his distinctive style and he was very likable along with being informative and entertaining. In addition he was a fantastic businessman that really knew radio and people.

RIP Mr. Harvey

I recommend finding one of his Rest of The Story books. They are compilations of the Rest of The Story broadcasts. Very interesting reading, especially if you're a history buff.

Our loss...
Thankfully he doesn't have to witness the Rest of the Socialistic Story that's unfolding this year.
