Awwwww. I love his voice.

I always felt smarter having listened to him.

Did you know that Levi's denim was an accident.

Someone stole the canvas and so he had to make do with denim.

Turns out it was his lucky break.

 

What a comforting voice. "And now you know the rest of the story."

I can hear it in my head. We're listening to the country station in the car....

My FIL worked with him at ABC radio in the 70s. Here's what he wrote (Steven is my dh):

 

It seems like yesterday that Mr. Harvey juggled then 7 year old Steven Kelly

and 5 year old Deborah on his knee while preparing for one of his daily noon

time broadcasts. Steven is now pastor of St John's Episcopal Church in

Detroit and Deborah a successful writer and marketing executive.

It was a great experience to have worked with him in my Chicago ABC Radio

Network sales days . In even the most difficult times for radio sales ,

advertisers were still lining up for 52 week sponsorships of Paul Harvey

News. What broadcast sales executive would not have loved that. And, what a

thrill to share a reception area with Paul Harvey. Imagine running into

Senators, Governors, religious leaders and Corporate Board Chairmen day to

day waiting to meet with Mr. Harvey. The memory of the day I struck up a

casual conversation with Billy Graham still lingers like it was yesterday.

 

Now that Mr. Harvey has joined his beloved wife Angel in passing in a great

career has come to an end.

 

Lets all keep Mr. Harvey and his family in our prayers in gratitude for what

they shared with us all over his 70 years of broadcasting.
