CHICAGO - Paul Harvey, the news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of the nation's most familiar voices, died Saturday in Arizona, according to ABC Radio Networks. He was 90.

Harvey died surrounded by family at a hospital in Phoenix, where he had a winter home, said Louis Adams, a spokesman for ABC Radio Networks, where Harvey worked for more than 50 years. No cause of death was immediately available.

"And now you know the rest of the story"...:cry:

I listened to Paul Harvey on many a lunch break.

Yeah he does. Not as good as his father is, but there are not very many who are on Paul Harveys level.

I have listened to this guy for years and its definitely sad to hear. He had a voice that just sticks with you and as others have said he can never be replaced.

One the greats of all time. I didn't always agree with some of his views, but he often did bring a smile to your face. He always had the story of the little guy beating the system and those I enjoyed the most.

RIP Mr Harvey, thanks for the memories.

He wasn't already dead? :confused2:

Seriously I thought he died and that's why his son was on instead.

I was being honest, wasn't trying to be callous. It was news to me. I thought he died a few years ago.
