He was a great man, who I enjoyed listening to for years. You could always know that you could always trust what he said.

AMEN !! I still have one of his radio shows that I taped back in the 1970's complete with the news & commercials of the day. I just decided to push record on the brand new cassette recorder and 35 years later, it still sounds good.

A little reminiscing...
Back in June of 1972, when I was in my early teens, our home was flooded during Hurricane Agnes. 6 feet on the second floor. We had to tear everything out down to the studs and rebuild. After a few weeks working on our house my dad had to get back to work at his daytime job which was also flooded, which left my grandfather and I doing the structural work during the day. Of course the AM radio played throughout the day. At noon we'd break for lunch, listening first to the noon news, then Pete Wambach ("It's a beeyootiful day...in Pennsylvania!") and finally at 12:15, "Paul Harvey, News and Commentary". All that Summer I associated Paul Harvey with a brief rest during the day, and the opportunity to work with, and know my grandfather, whom I grew to love very much.
He died that September.
From then until today whenever I heard Paul Harvey do his "news and commentary" I'd re-experience the respite of those lunches, and the Summer spent with my grandfather.
RIP Mr. Harvey, you'll never know how much you've given me over the years.

That is a wonderful story ChrisW !
