Folks Of Interest R.I.P.Paul Harvey, an American Radio Icon--OT

Died today at 90 years of age. Radio will never be the same. He was station manager at KSAL here in Salina as a young man for 3 years in the 1930's and left to work at KOMA in OK City, OK. His show in Chicago had a listening audience of 22 million people a week.

 

Good Day!
RIP

 

and now you know the rest of the story RIP

 

Thats a shame, I sure did enjoy listening to him.....R.I.P. Jim

 

Neither will commercials, some folks will miss him, some won't? (I won't!)

 

always wondered how old that guy was,,,seemed to have been around forever..
very interesting to listen to for sure...

RIP

 

R.I.P. Mr. Harvey
I have to wonder how many Bose radios he sold....

 

He was a master salesman. People trusted him. He could absolutely sell igloos to Eskimos.

 

bummer! i loved paul harvey

 

Icon...........R.I.P. Paul

 

The only guy I ever really enjoyed listening to on the radio. An American original. Those are hard to come by these days.

 

He was fired from a local radio station here in Missoula, Mt. years ago.

 

Ill miss his stories, its an end of an era for me. i have listened to him since i was a boy. RIP.

 

wow, didnt he have young children? the loss of a american icon.

 

Our sixth grade teacher used to play Paul at lunch time some kids hated it not me
RIP Mr.Harvey

 

He will be missed

 

Radio will never be the same...R.I.P

"Good Day"

 

I guess now HE'LL know the "rest of the story".

His son Jr was doing the "Rest of the story" spots for a while...

 

90 years young. Great stories. I enjoyed them and would sit and listen in the driveway if I caught it as I came home. Radio for 70 years. Now that's loving what you do.

RIP Mr. Harvey, Good Day!

 

I used to like to listen to him but haven't in a long time. Got to wondering about him lately hearing him during radio commercial breaks. Huge loss for the industry and for all that remembered and liked him. R.I.P. Paul, you deserve the rest

 

I think after his wife died a couple of years ago he cut back his schedule. He called her "Angel", I was impressed with that.

 

Sad.........
Rip

 

he has a son , paul jr. i believe , that started doing his show . great man ..... will be missed by many ................... steve

 

I always enjoyed listening to him. Good Day!

Sad day indeed I remember sitting at my grandmothers kitchen table about 6 or 7 yrs old eating fresh corn bread listening to Mr Harvey.

 

RIP. even though he became liberal these last few years. I am almost 40. and his commentary was a part of my life for many of those years.

 

Paul was a car guy he had a collection of Ferraris.....RIP
