[Wicht]

He died yesterday at the age of 90. A true radio icon.

O.o Alla kewl older folks are dying like flies ... he will be missed.

[Patrick Curtin]

I guess now he'll find out ...... the rest of the story.

Good luck on your next adventure, whatever it is Paul :(

said to hear, grew up listing to him...be odd without him on at 4

[Mairkurion {tm}]

He had quite a run. I'll always associate the sound of his voice with my dad listening to the radio when I was a kid.

Damn, he was cool. R.I.P. Mr. Harvey.

I was suprised at the fact that he was still doing his show at age 90. He will be missed.

It has mostly been guest hosts for the last couple years but he would still show up a few times every month. And of course he still taped all the commercials. I will be interested to see at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow morning how the show is handled.

But... now I'll never be able to hear the rest of the story...

[David Fryer]

Maybe he will come back and tell us.

Spoiler:

There were two men who really loved baseball. They made a vow that which ever one died first, he would come back an tell the other if they had baseball in heaven. Finally one died. The night of his funeral, he appeared at the foot of his friend's bed. "I have good news and bad news," he told his friend. "The good news is that they have the best baseball program ever in heaven."
"Then what's the bad news," the living friend said.
"You're on the schedule to pitch in next Thursday's game."

Well played sir. That is a very good way to tell...

RIP Mr. Harvey,

you're a part of my growing up and childhood, you will be missed.

For some reason, Paul Harvey's speech cadence is uniquely suited for editing bits together. I was listening to the Free Beer and Hot Wings morning show the other day, and they dredged up this clip. It's bits of two news items and PH's famous "page two" Bose Radio ad all spliced together to make it sound like he was selling bongs.
