Glad he had a good run.

Have a great ride, Mr. Harvey.

This is what I found when I looked up "Mr Harvey":

He definitely did have a good run.  I remember first listening to his mid day broadcast while running errands in the family car in the mid 60's.

From what I see, looks like none of us are getting out of here alive.

Used to hear him when I was staying with my grandmother when I was very young. Hearing his voice always brought back good memories. I hope my life is as full and long as his was.

good day Mr. Harvey..

Excellent broadcaster and journalist with a storied career. His level of professionalism and integrity is sadly an anachronism broadcasting today and he'll be missed.  :-[

I used to work in radio, and I sent a letter to him, and he replied along with an autographed photo, and a personal hand written note, really cool.  My old boss took a trip to Chicago 5 or 6 years ago, and he stopped by the studios to meet Paul Harvey, and Paul invited them to sit in while he did the midday news, and he sat and did it live to the satellite feed, no overdubs, my friend was impressed, seemed like a really genuine guy, he will be missed, the end of an era.

Why would you think he was trying to be funny? I had no idea who this thread was about until I looked it up...

I'm glad you had the common sense to do so. How long did it take you to find the answer? I'll bet less than 30 seconds. Maybe the other guy should have done the same before posting his uneducated and/or NOT FUNNY post.

  Why all the attitude?
I'm sure that after 40+ years in broadcasting, it's inconceivable to some that some people might not know who Paul Harvey was. But as Chris pointed out, it is possible.




Rest in peace Mr Harvey. You will be missed. :(

No, but not a ton older than that either. No first name was mentioned. When someone says "Harvey" and expects me to know who they're talking about, I think of a six foot tall rabbit.

Searchnig for Harvey, or, Mr. Harvey net me news about a prominent burger joint, drinks (harvey wallbangers), the movie "Harvey", etc-nothing definitive. It wasn't until further in the thread that a first name was mentioned, until that time, I had *no* idea who was being discussed, so I asked, "Who?".


I don't understand why there was an assumption I was being sarcastic, nor do I appreciate the response.

RIP.  He had been looking ill for a while but at that age I guess no one looks perfect.

I used to listen to him around midday when I could get down south of Pt Arena & pick up KGO. Whenever Paul was coming on everybody wanted to listen to the rest of the story.  :'(

Now all I have left is Michael Savage. If he doesn't die of a stress induced heart attack soon.  [laugh]

Paul Harvey was cool. 

"The rest of the story" brings back memories from my childhood.  Entertaining stuff right there.
