Paul Harvey Obituary

Back in 1973, just out of high school, my friends and I were working on a ranch in CA one summer. Every day at lunch time we would sit on the back of an old jeep pickup truck with our brown bag lunches and listen to Paul like kids being told a bed time story! We loved him dearly! There will never be another like him! Young people these days missed out on a great American icon!! We and miss you Paul Harvey!!

i ENJOYED LISTENING TO HIM . hE WAS A GREAT MAN . !!!

I hope you are still telling story's like you did for so many years on the radio, you are missed.

I listened to Paul Harvey " FAITHFULLY " every day for nearly fifty years , no matter where I was -- if I was on the road driving ,I would search the radio stations until I heard his familiar voice ,and then I would listen VERY CLOSELY -not wanting to miss a single word. I still want to turn him on every noon!!! He was very special to me !!!

Delores Thompson. I still miss his daily noontime news and comment. He was and still my favorite.

Paul Harvey, May Be Gone But Not forgotten. He was a Man of Many talents . One that I admired was the Ability to be a Lunch time Motivator . Everyday I would Look forward Not so Much of going to work But Listening to Paul. At the Time Paul was On the Air. He Made My day and to top it Off was a Man of God . Today He is In the Presence of Our Lord and Savior Jesus May He Blessed Forever and Ever Amen.

I was a fan of Paul Harvey from the first time I ever heard his mid-day program on radio in 1968. Over the years I always tried to catch his program, often stealing away while at work to listen and following it as it changed stations. Paul made me grateful to be an American. What an impact this fine, decent man made on so many people. There will never be another like him but I hope his son carries on his good work. May God bless your soul Mr. Harvey.

Gosh ! WE sure need you now.LOL

Loved Paul Harvey like all the rest here. Just got an email today:12-5-15, to review his programs. As current today as they were when he spoke them. R.I.P. Donna Ross

I use to drive a small pickup truck for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California patrolling the pipeline and gathering water samples & I would never miss the midday Paul Harvey News & Comments. I'd tune later in the day to hear "The Rest of The Story." That always made my drives most pleasant

[email protected]. I grew up listening to Paul on wcuz of grand rapids, mi. I enjoyed listening to him, as of 2015 I still listen to him off you tube

I grew up with Mr. Harvey's broadcasts and heard them most of my 50+ years. I once penned a short letter of appreciation to Mr. Harvey. Most personalities would have had someone return a form letter. Mr. Harvey responded personally in a short letter signed by both himself and his wife. As I believe he used to say of others.....He was a gentle man and a gentleman. How I miss that voice.....

Loved you on radio always listen entirely and closely when he was on... for the rest of the story....RIP MR HARVEY

Paul, may you be at peace with jesus. I miss your arm forces radio program eveyday at high noon. R.I.P.

To the harvey family, paul harvey has been my favorite news commontator ever since I came to washington state in 1971. He always made me laugh. When he did the rest of the storey well some of his storeys were off the wall and funny. To paul from a fan, Rest in peace. I miss your shows.

Dear friend,
I miss you. I've never met you, but you so greatly impacted my life, and you didn't even know it. If the "Rest of the Story" collection were to be marketed and sold, it would be a 'must have' for every family. I will miss you for as long as I live on this Earth, and can only pray that one glorious day, we will finally meet so I can hug you.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Harvey. Your Wit & Wisdom Will Never Die. See You On The Other Side Some Beautiful Day, Kind Sir.

To one of the greatest men in History I salute you! I grew up on your wisdom!

I grew up on a farm and Mr. Harvey’s word was law and we never missed a program or Rest of the Story. After high school I enlisted in the Army where I spent the next 23 years. One of the first things we always did was find what radio station Paul would be on. Even overseas on Armed Forces Network listening to Paul was always like taking a trip home, this included during Desert Storm. I greatly miss listening to Mr. Harvey and hope he is in the company of his Angel.

In around 1978 i met Paul Harvey... He was in bedford Pa. I worked with a photographer that took some photos for Miriam harabaugh.. paul's Cousin .. she was writing a book..."the Aurandt expedition" Some of my photos landed in the book... Mr Harvey was so very nice the day i met him... I have a warm spot always for "the rest of the story"

This July 4, 2010 I again remember Mr Harvey and his telling of all who signed the Declaration of Independence and what happen to them. I have searched the internet over to hear it again without success. I miss him, I miss his assuring voice. May God keep his family safe and bring them each to His own heart daily and hold them in His hands.

Mr. Harvey and Family,
Gods Speed and Loving Heart surround you and yours. I will always remember turning the channel on the radio and hearing your unusual voice. The way it captivated me and made me want to tune in and listen again and again and again. You will be dearly missed!

I think of you often-you always made my day.

I had the honor to know Mr. Harvey; he was the most extraordinary man I have ever met. He may be gone in body, but his spirit lives on. He is finally with his Angel in Heaven.
You are missed but will always be fondly remembered.

For Paul...

Know that your words will
last far into the years
before us.

Paul this is for you:

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

To The Harvey Family: I am so sorry he is no longer here with us, but do know that he is still here with us in spirit. I pray that you all will be comforted by these words:

Try to remember that a GOOD man never dies; You will see him many times.
You will feel him in all things that are here out of love, and for love.
The person of a man may leave or be taken away, but the best part of a GOOD man stays. It stays FOREVER!

It's January 2010 and our United States has a lot of troubles. I often wonder what Paul Harvey would have to say about all that is going on. I miss his words of wisdom and encouragement, truth and his wit. He touched so many people. We all trusted him. If anyone could speak on behalf of we Americans, it would have been Paul Harvey. I'd love to know what Mr. Harvey would say to our political leaders if he were here now. He'd tell them "the rest of the story". He'd know all the right words to say. Like everyone, I miss Mr. Harvey.

I miss your news and the Rest of the Story. We are three generations of listeners. Miriam Harbaugh Harpster, your cousin, was my Microbiology teacher at Altoona High. Miss her too.
My sympathies to your family.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

For Paul...

It has been a while since Paul left this world to be with his precious Angel and reap his well disserved reward but I still listen to the radio at 7:30 AM longing for that familiar "Good Morning Americas - Stand by for news". There will never be another Paul Harvey - I just wish someone was there to fill the void of eternal optimism and hope for tomorrow. I will miss Paul until I see him again.

Dear Paul Harvey;

I started listening to you during the noonhour back in '69 when my boyfriend and I would go to the Drive-in for a hamburger and turn on the radio and listen to you white we ate...

I am sad that you are gone, as I was one of your faithful followers.

THANK-YOU for your Christian testimony that made some of us even braver to stand up and sometimes, alone -

Now, precious man, YOU know the rest of the story...!

See you over there -

I did not discover paul harvey via radio like so many others, but through one of his "Rest of the Story" books since i am an avid reader and found one laying around one day...after reading it and learning about his radio personality status I started making a habit of listening to his program(s)...I always enjoyed the "Story" bits and may not have always agreed with his commentaries on other subjects, I always welcomed his honesty and integrity in giving them and how he did so in a very humane and educated way instead of the constant ranting and lambasting going on now. If you agreed with him or not and spoke to him he did not insult you or your beliefs, but ould debate the issue politely with you...and always showed respect for the other side...his passing was a true loss for his family, friends, fans, radio, and journalism in general. We'll not see another with his dedication, honesty, and integrity for a very long time and for this I mourn the passing of such a great person.

God bless Paul for his fundamental guidance in our lives, he will be missed terribly.

I loved Paul Harvey and listening to him everyday on my way to work. I remember his story about Pete Murphy, a local man who, although he had little money, knew alot of people! Ann B.

Paul Harvey and Angel were our last real links to the Golden Age of Radio. He read the news, shared his opinions with us, and kept us spellbound guessing "the rest of the story". In good times and in bad times, the reassuring voice of Mr. Harvey and his boundless American optimism were there. He often referred to his newscasts as "visits" and indeed each time he read the news it was as if a neighbor had stopped by to discuss the latest happenings and to share his views. His listeners were loyal to him and he returned their loyalty when, an at an age when it would have been easy to retire, he signed a ten year contract to continue broadcasting. I listened to him for almost 35 years and will truly miss him.

I grew up listening to Mr. Harvey. His voice, stories and radio presence will be missed for years to come.

i thank god that i grew up with paul on the radio! He calmed the roiled waters of our times!!!

Ours was a multi-generational farming family in Yakima, WA, who all listened to Paul Harvey News and Comment. I must've starting hearing Paul Harvey when I was only a few days old - straight home from the hospital in 1959. As kids we listened too, and learned about our world through Paul's words. Like many others who have written, after I moved to other places, I would sit in my car during lunch if that was the only way to listen to his noon report. It was comforting to listen to Paul after my father and grandparents passed and have those good memories of listening to Paul Harvey around the table. It was like having a tie to them. It's the end of an era.

Dear Family of Paul Havey, What a legacy Paul Harvey left behind. No matter how popular he was, he still had an appreciation for the little man. I have in the genealogy dept. of the Attala Co. Library, a program from whenever Paul visited Kosciusko, MS in 1961. He also honored a very humble man named Pete Murphy. I listened to Paul Harvey everyday on my way to work, and I will miss him terribly! Ann Breedlove, Kosciusko, MS

I remember hearing Paul Harvey when I was a child in the 1950's. I was amazed and delighted when I found him again as an adult and parent in the 1970's! That's when I began to set the tuner on my car radio for the stations that carried his broadcasts. I looked forward to catching The Rest of the Story during my commutes and always tried to listen to the Saturday broadcasts. I miss him! My prayers are with your family and your broadcast family as you go on with out him and your mother; I know you miss them both greatly.
I look forward to hearing the Heavenly versions of his broadcasts someday!

Thank you Mr.Harvey. You will truly be missed.

Listened to you for more that 60 years...guess now you can really find out "The Rest of the Story". My sincere condolences to your family. You will be sorely missed as journalism declines.

I remember as a child in Montgomery, Al watching Paul Harvey commentary on TV and I will always remember him saying: it's 10:00 do you know where your children are? If you heard this you was in the house. Parents knew exactly where there children were. But know that their is hope in a resurrection at Rev. 21:4 the enemy death will be done away with.

I will truly miss you Paul Harvey, I always tried to listen to your program. Love and payers to the Harvey family.

Our condolences to the harvey family. death is an enemy to all of us. May God who promises to comfort us in all our tibulations grant you peace by means of prayer and his holy word the Bible.

Our condolences to the Harvey family.
We always felt that Paul was a part of our family.
We enjoyed his honest wit and comments for fifty years or so.
We sincerly hope that somehow, "Paul Harvey News" will continue and that possibly Paul Jr. can continue "The Rest of The Story".
Paul and his loving "live-in-angel" Lynn, are now together forever.
May God grant you both peace in His loving arms forever.

We sure are going to miss you, Paul.
We always listened to your daily newscasts and frequently quoted from them days later !! There will never be another Paul Harvey !!
Rest in Peace, Buddy!! And, Good Day !!

My most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mr. Paul Harvey. I enjoyed his radio broadcasts daily. He brought light and joy to many Americans lives and will be sorely missed. God bless and comfort you during your time of loss.

Harvey,

I am sorry about your lost, but if you trust in God and he will see you through.
God Bless Each Of you.

My sympathy to the family. I unexpectedly lost my Mother in September of 2008 and understand what you are experiencing. I always enjoyed Mr. Harvey's broadcasts and will remember his wonderful sense of humor.

May God comfort your hearts, as only He can. I believe Paul Harvey was a Christian man and a wonderful human being.God bless you all.

You brightened many a day, often making me laugh out loud as I was driving. You were one of a kind and will be truly missed.
An old fan,

Mr Harvey,
Have enjoyed listening to you for years, You will be very sadly missed.
for your family we just pray that all the precious memories will bring each of them comfort at this time.

I loved to hear Mr Harvey and will miss him.

We have enjoyed Mr. Harvey's stories for years. See you in heaven.

Loved to listen to Paul Harvey on radio when I was lucky enough to catch him. Usually when traveling etc. America will miss him.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Harvey family. Thanks to Paul for touching all our lives with his beautiful and witty stories. What a legacy he leaves behind. Good day, Mr. Harvey, and God speed!

You will be missed. Good Day.........God speed.

Mr. Harvey's brand of homey, plain talk will be missed. My condolences go out to his family and friends. He was one of a kind. And now you know the rest of the story... How I loved listening to him!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

...thanks Paul...

I would like to thank Paul Harvey and his family for all he has done for me. I have listened and enjoyed his program and words all my life. He made may life better and I will remember him forever.

Thank you Mr. Harvey for giving me something interesting to listen to on my transistor radio while freezing on the flight line in the Air Force in the early 1970's. I looked forward to you everyday at noon and that's the rest of the story!

I grew up in the Sandhills of Nebraska in the early 70's. We only had one TV channel on a good day so we listened to the radio a lot. My dad was a rancher and always took time at noon to listen to Paul Harvey. Dad would also listen to The Rest of The Story and the morning broadcast as well. Somedays this may be the only news from around the world we would hear or listen to. I too looked forward to hearing Paul. During the last few years I listened to Mr Harvey via the internet. I travel to Chicago yearly and regret that I couldnt come last week for the service. Thank you Mr. Harvey for the memories, words of wisdom and for bringing us the news in the wonderful fashion you did. God Bless you.

Mr. Harvey your stories always made me feel good. I'm very sure you are up in heaven telling "the rest of the story" to the many up there. Your beautiful voice will be missed, but the memories will last a lifetime. God Bless and rest well my friend.

My best memories are of me and my Grandmother sitting at the kitchen table playing rummy and listening to "the rest of the story". My Grandmother taught me to love and look forward to his commentaries. I hope he continues to share his wonderful stories w/her in Heaven. Thank you, Paul Harvey, for the memories.

GOD bless you & yours, dear Paul Harvey...GOD holds you now, safe - sound - truly at peace & whole... There, with HIM, you watch over all of your dear family & friends - walking every step of their ways with them 'til their works for GOD here on Earth are done... I pray/ask GOD to bless you & yours with the confort that only HE can give at this difficult time. With love & deepest sympathy...

I will always remember the noon hour of a hot summer day listening to you with my dad . My dad has alzhiemers now . Thank you for a life memory that will live on

Mr. Harvey was a good and righteous man who will be sorely missed by the American public. I would listen to him with my father and remember the smiles or discussions he would generate between the two of us. My prayers go out to the family.

For years I listened to you
Took pleasure in your voice,
You were one of the few
Who told it as it was.
Now time has taken you from here
The voice we no longer shall hear
The world is sadder for this
But one thing I know is clear
The heavens rejoice in knowing
That the rest of the your story is there.

Blessed be

You will be missed by all. My deepest sympathy to the family. May God Bless..

Mr David Toth the world will miss him

Great men live on in the hearts of all who loved and respected his work. Paul Harvey lives on in all of us.

TO THE HARVEY FAMILY:

BE ASSURED THAT PAUL AND LYNNE WILL BE IN MY MORNING AND EVENING PRAYERS AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST.

I will miss this fine, righteous man. He left the world a better place. Thanks for the great stories and many good chuckles. God bless your family.

Our family and millions will miss that special voice that came over the radio with those funny stories. He was so blessed to have that unique voice that captured the attention of all those who listened. My condolences to his family. Paul will be missed very much. RIP Paul!!

my love and prayers are with the family at this time and paul will be miss by all who had heard him on the air.

I am a fan from Id. Thank you for having this simple guest book. This is very nice!
Paul Harvey was a truthful man, he was honest in his dealings with this world. Many good things have been said about him. He was himself, never tried to compete with anyone else. I will miss his broadcasts and his voice and his words of wisdom.
My sympathy and prayers to his wonderful family. He is among the angels now. 'Good Day'.

My husband never went a day without listening to him. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.

Mr Harvey often attended the Camel
Back Seventh-day Adventist Church
and was a dear man and a friend to
so many. I know he will be there when Jesus comes again.
1 Thess. 4:16 & 17

Paul Harvey was a blessing to many and will be dearly missed. The broadcasts he gave with that distinctive voice was much anticipated and appreciated! May God comfort the family as only HE can.

I will miss Paul Harven immensley. He was one of my heros. All of the world will miss his commentaries.

I miss him terribly. I looked forward to hearing him every weekday and Saturday on WTFM in Johnson City at 12:07pm, and hearing The Rest of the Story on the same station at 5pm. My second favourite host of the program was Paul Harvey, Jr. and I would very much like to see him succeed his father as the primary voice of Paul Harvey News & Comment. Thank Youl.

What else is there to say about Mr. Paul Harvey, that can be said, or hasn't been said. He enlightened all our lives, six days a week. He took our minds off our every day problems, if only for a few minutes a day. He gave us good, funny, and useful news that was believable.
His honesty, and integrity concerning the products he advertised was creditable. Mr. Harvey, I've been one of your best fans since 1964. You will always be remembered, and missed by all the good folks you touched. May God bless, and rest your soul. Until the next time,"Good Day".

Paul was our friend, day by day. He honored me with a story of The FutrDOCS Program and I thank him for this. May God bless and comfort you during this time of grief and loss. Our loss is truly Heaven's gain.

It's not the rest of the story, it's just the beginning. Now you and your beloved Lynne can once again go looking for the answers together. I will miss you, but I know that where you are, everyday will be A GOODDAY. RIP Pam George (St Louis Mo.)

sorry, to your lost, we will allways rebemer your dad, deb,of nashville tenn.

Dearest Mr. Harvey,
To me you were always like my favorite Uncle each day coming by to spend time. I would sit in the kitchen and have lunch together.
I shall miss you dearly.God Bless You
for all you have done in the years you were with us..
My prayers are with your family..
God Bless You All.

Your father was loved by all of us. His voice was of rare quality and brought all of us to attention to hear the latest "rest of the story". I can only imagine what special memories you must have. Thanks for sharing him with all of us.

I feel as though I've lost a beloved and trusted friend. God speed, Mr. Harvey.
