  I first heard him in about 1988 or 1989 as he was a regular on a station I would listen to in the mornig. LOVEd his stories and the warmth and interest with which he told them.

  Last I heard one of them was a year or two ago.

  Sad to see another notable leave us.

  -Aude.

  I really don't know how people could listen to him on a regular basis. That whistling noise he made when he spoke was very annoying to me. It was like a whistle at the end of every sentence.

  And those those long pauses .... voice intonations ... I just don't get it .....

  "This is Paul Harvey ... stand by for NOOOOOOOOZE!!!"

  And the "page 2" stuff ...

  I just couldn't take it.

  I've never been much for talk radio. Prefer music. But my husband got me to listening to him a few years ago. I loved his stories. Larry King replayed his last interview on his show after he died. He was charming and very sincere.

  I enjoyed listening to him in the '70s. I liked that the stories were usually about famous people I was familiar with.
