Paul Harvey: 'The rest of the story' ends

Not a big Paul Harvey fan -- he's way too conservative! -- but what a giant of broadcasting.

I wish him godspeed. I bet his heart just went out of him when his wife died, and I completely understand. Again, godspeed.

I was a huge fan of Paul Harvey. I will miss his daily broadcast on my morning drive to work. My thoughts and prayers go out to his son during his tremendous loss.

Thank you Mr. Harvey for all the wonderful years.

No God, can hear, The Rest...of the Story.

God Bless.

The Howe Family

Beth....Harvey was "way to conservative" ? Why ? Because he advocated traditional values, America, freedom, patriotism ? Because he spent fifty years telling us the good things about America ? Grow up.

one of the true great ones. he will be missed. he was definitely one of a kind. mr nice guy with the nice tidbits that always made it worth listening to...my sympathy to the family.

I've listened to Paul Harvey for about 40 years, I loved his conservative view of life, he was the kind of man that really represented the best of America. Trust God, work hard, and don't expect the government to pay your bills

"The rest of the story" is that I have had so many enjoyable moments for so many years. May we all take a moment to remember our radio friend and pray a prayer of thanksgiving to God for his talents and comfort for his family.

A legend has passed. None like him these days.

Boy, will always remember him and wish I had listened to his shows more often now.

RIP Paul, may you have tailwinds and good weather on your journey West!

I've been listening to him since the 70s, if not earlier. I would stop whatever it was I as doing whenever "The Rest of the Story" played on the radio. I enjoyed his conservative views and his distinctive "staccato" voice. I especially looked forward to his broadcasts in the morning, which would mark the beginning of my day on a good note. He was one of a kind and I will miss him sorely. Mr. Harvey, you are with Angel now and forever.

Best wishes to the Harvey family.
Paul's common sense take on the news and issues of our time will be sorely missed, farewell :(

He was a hateful reacitonary jerk. He made fun of Karen SIlkwood when the family sued Kerr McGee---one of his sponsors. He fueled the revisionary crap about the Vietnam War. Watch "Sir! No Sir!" the suppressed film about the G.I. REVOLT that ended the war.
Paul Harvey is NOT an American hero.

He was what they call in the biz a "class act".

Not like some of the (as Pope B. would say) filth that is broadcasting today.

I remember listening to Paul Harvey with my Grandma when she was alive...even after she passed on I still looked forward to his radio broadcasts and loved hearing him saying..."and now you know.....the rest of the story"...God Bless you all and R.I.P. Paul Harvey...you will be dearly missed...

What a GREAT broadcaster! And yes, his conservative views were very much appreciated. I remember many of his stories that stopped me dead in my tracks as I hung on every word before returning to my work. He is certainly missed as one of the GREATEST radio broadcasters of all times. May God grant peace and comfort to his family.

I'll always link Mr Harvey with insightful stories, True Value hardware stores, and an America and a dream that we seem to have lost.... .... ... that warm voice ... ... ... those long pregnant pauses ... ... ... 'Good day, Mr Harvey.'

Yes, Harvey was a class act, unlike many of his supporters here. Let's not politicise his death. I used to enjoy listening to him back when I listened to AM. I'd say he was the best of the AM bunch. He was about the only thing I missed in my transition to NPR. RIP Paul. Now it is time for your Page 2.

WOW ! Even in death, the angry libs can't help but take the shots.

When I was young, I used to listen to Paul Harvey while driving around with my father; I have very fond memories of those innocent days. When I became older and wiser, I realized was a reactionary freak Harvey was, what a complete snake-oil salesman Harvey was, and how his "rest of the story' stuff was just silly. Still, those days of innocence were nice. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

My husband and I were stationed in Germany from1972 to 1978 and we listened to Paul Harvey all the time on the military radio station. When we were in our car and got to our destination, we'd sit there and listen till we'd hear "and that's the rest of the story". He was a part of our life. Thank you Paul Harvey and God love ya!

As many did, I grew up listening to Paul Harvey. If there ever was a True Icon of American Radio, or better yet,
a True Pro-America Icon, Paul Harvey was it. Thats The Rest of The Story...

Beth....you seem to be a petty little person. My guess is...you're in college or just out of college and you bought into all that hatred of America your liberal college professors taught you?? Come on Beth...admit it..I'm right.

NOBAMA! NO SOCIALISM!!!

"The Rest Of The Story" was a bunch of fabricated nonsense designed to make his senile listeners swell with jingoistic pride.

Wonder if Harvey had the TRUTH or guts to write this.

Seems this was brewing at the end of December but I first heard of it yesterday on BlogTalkRadio. The indians seem to have forgotten that they lost the war. Do they want another one? THIS WAS NOT THEIR LAND! It's God's land. He gave it to us just like he gave Canaan to us. As far as treaties are concerned, the indians made treaties to stay on the reservation but always broke them by their war parties which killed, stole and kidnapped young girls. Another thing, they did this while getting food, guns and ammunition from the Interior Department and used those guns on Custer!

But I'm ahead of the barstards! I know who my enemies are. Blacks, Mexicans and Indians! I have just finished reading General George Armstrong Custer's book. An hispanic told me Custer was on the wrong side. That side is MY SIDE. So this hispanic is my enemy! Now I'm not a fool. I don't believe my enemies, not one word. I believe my white heroes like Custer.

Indians, Blacks and Mexicans should shut up and be happy doing their menial jobs. If we had taken God's word we would have killed all of you like God told us to kill all the Canaanites. If our ancestors had done their jobs and obeyed God the first time, we wouldn't have had trouble with the indians the second time around. AND NOW A THIRD TIME AROUND!

Black, Mexican and Indian activists should be whipped. If they continue, the noose would be good for them. Do indians still fear being hung? Maybe we should scalp them too. Do they still believe they will not go to the happy hunting ground if they are scalped?

I was about 5 years old when I started hearing Paul in the kitchen of our apartment in Durham, NC . That was about 1953 and I have listened to him ever since. I knew this day would have to happen someday, but it isn't easy to say goodby. I feel like I have lost an old friend. Goodbye, Paul.

There will always be good broadcasters. There will NEVER be another Paul Harvey!

Paul Harvey, the Norman Rockwell of American radio journalism.

Huckster...... It is so sad you don't get it and never will. Chances are, anyone that does not think like you is probably not as "smart" as THE huckster. You're missing it Einstein.

Now you know.........The rest of the story!
Paul : you were one of the greats. I have fond memories listening as a kid, back in the early 1960's.

Regardless of his idology he was a fantastic story teller and great entertainer. To those taking cheap shots at him for his conservative views, why don't you try extracting the phallus from your posterior, clean yourself up, and snap out of it?

Harold, stick around for a while and keep posting here. We've got to introduce you to some of your new friends from your kind here: Terry, John W, Inky, Hope n Change, Bruce, Bill (not R), and I'm sure many others. You'll have so many friends to back up your Republican points that you will be suprised how much support you will get.

I have listened to Paul Harvey all my life. I remember being at my grandparent's house listening to the radio and when it was time for Paul Harvey to come on my grandparents would say "shhhh Paul Harvey is on", we would listen to "The rest of the story...". This was a common theme also at my parents home and when I grew up also in my home. I guess my favorite part was the jolly way he would end it "Good Day".

There will be a big hole in my day from now on. I will miss him.

I'm about as liberal as they get, and Harvey's conservatism never bothered me, because he didn't have a mean bone in his body. His warmth and amusement with the world will be missed.

Even though I am a VERY big fan of Paul Harvey, I would just like to say that I wish that everyone who is not a fan, just leave him alone - his family may read this blog. Please try to be a little more considerate of others. May you rest in peace Paul, enjoy your Angel again.

Harvey was wise enough to be against the Viet Nam war, he knew it was so wrong.

Bet he thought the same of the mess in Iraq.
He had Conservative common sense,
which hasn't been so common with so-called Conservative presidents.

The world or radio has lost a great man, no matter the negative cheap comments, I am sick of all of those small minded and mean spirited people who take great delight in showing just how stupid and weak minded they really are, show some repect and keep your comments to yourselves. To Mr. Harvey, you will be missed. To the Harvey family, my most heartfelt condolences. Good Day........

Paul Harvey was first introduced to my folks and me by Aunt Kate when I was around 12 years old, and we've been fans ever since. My dad was the ultimate Paul Harvey fan, and he passed away in February of 2004--and, no doubt, was probably one of the ones sent to greet Paul in that tunnel of light leading to Glory!!!

mr. harvey took part of me when he left this world,hope to hear and see him again.
God bless.

I am an immigrant from Centro America. Besides been entertaining, he was informative about current affairs and made you think. Now I have an empty space every day, it is not the same without him.

God bless him and fortitude to his family.

Paul Harvey did a story once about a famous Indian man that was actually a woman who was on the run for killing a man. Does anyone know anything about this? I have searched but can't find any info.
