Paul Harvey

The broadcasting world lost one of it's greats yesterday.

Paul Harvey passed away on on the 28th of February at 90 years old. 70 of those years Harvey spent on the radio. He definitely ruffled quite a few feathers with some controversial comments, but the gifted broadcaster was loved by his listeners, broadcasting on over 1,200 stations, and 400 Armed Forces networks.

Many broadcasters have had their trademark styles and personalities, such as Walter Cronkite, dubbed the most trusted man in America. Many will recognize Harvey's voice if you did not know who it was when you listened to it. The below link is a YouTube video with a few quotes from his radio broadcasts.

His pauses and delivery style earned him a reputation for the staccato style of speaking, and I wish his family well. The memory of this radio giant is powerful, and the world will miss him.
