Good By Mr. Harvey. I will miss you very much.
My ears will get very dirty.
They will not get washed out with . . . "This" anymore.

He was about the last of the famous radio broadcasters like John Cameron Swayze and Westbrook Van Vorhees.

I've listened to him off and on since I was a little kid in the early 1950's

God bless and keep him; he did great work and is sue for a rest.

When I was fresh out of high school in 1959 my Dad got me a job at the shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It was a booming time for Ingalls was a booming place in those days, building the last conventional powered sub and starting on four new nuclear powered subs. They had three shifts, working 24-hours-day. They had a large public address system, this was the days before pagers and hand held radios, and several times a day they would pipe the Paul Harvey radio program all over the yards on the PA system. That's where I was introduced to him, a habit that has stayed with me all these years.

As an earlier post noted he was on at noon CST, just when 10,000 plus shipyard workers were sitting down to lunch. It was impossible to be out of earshot of his daily broadcasts. What a great memory!

Prayers for his family and friends and millions of Americans who are blessed to know how much was lost with his passing.

Lately I had been listening to his broadcasts thinking I should enjoy them while I can. I felt like I was listening to another time in America, one that wasn’t quite so focused on the latest BS today’s media finds so attractive. It wasn’t always what Mr. Harvey he said, it was hearing a voice that spoke with high character and class.

Paul Harvey was, and always will be, a Great American. May God grant him eternal peace and splendor with his departed loved ones, the Angels, and the Saints.

It’s hard to imagine the trip home without Paul Harvey!

Am I dreaming or were his broadcasts once much longer? I seem to remember him going to ‘page 7’ or ‘page 8’ as opposed to his latter-day 4-page format (with page 3 being an ad).
