God Blesses and keeps my precious friend safe till the angels call for him to be with his wife, which passed on Oct 20, 2013. He carried a cell phone with no bells or whistles, and it was for his staff to reach him and his wife. I doubt he will ever see this because he has no computer, nor has he ever had an answering machine at home. So be it his story is a model for others that will follow. If Wilfred knew I wrote this, he would be upset in a very humble way. Would they toss in God every chance they could? Webb when watching these “hypercritical” politicians in public that say how talented they are and how miserable their opposition is. Unfortunately, Americans will not find any politicians as humble or honest as Wilfred. I cringe when I hear other politicians insult God’s name for gain. Webb is the only politician I ever knew that deserves to use the word God in a sentence, but he did not he is a genuine Christian that does not use God to get votes but to keep his heart and soul-spiritual. His heart was always busy doing things for other people and trying not to get caught nor talk about what he did for others. At the same time, Wilfred always lived in a small “working class” city with a 20.000 population. He lost running for his Fourth term to an unusually young candidate with much financial support from an “upper-class” neighborhood. After he retired, they went on the walls in his basement, where nobody usually goes. He told me he did not want them on the wall, leaving them in the box. That was the only time I saw Wilfred get upset. I grabbed a box of them and said to Wilfred, “these awards And Accolades need to be on your wall. I remember going to his office in Lansing, Michigan, one time, and while I was there, I noticed boxes full of awards he had received, about 30 or so. He was a teacher with many grateful students he also became a school superintendent that was loved and respected. Wilfred never said one negative thing about a person or a political party or disrespected nor blamed the President of the United States for the ills of America at that time. In every campaign, Webb was not the candidate with the most money he had the most sincere heart and soul. Even more unusual is he served three terms as a State Representative in Michigan. How unique? He is the most humble man I have ever known in my lifetime, and he does not know he is humble. I am pleased to say I have had a truly unique friend for almost 30 years. He always cares for others and has always helped in any way he could without judging them. His only prayer was that he could survive his wife to take care of her until her final hours I have so much respect and admiration for Wilfred D Webb. God’s Angels finally came to embrace her. While she was in the Medical Facility, he would stay by her side at the start of the visiting hours and be the last to leave, 7 Days a week. He was 94 years old in 2015, and he took care of his younger bride, Lady Virginia, that had Parkinson’s disease, cancer, and a broken hip twenty-four-seven he cared for her at home until she had to go to a care facility. It made me think that every year for almost 30 years, Wilfred Webb was always the first Birthday card I received from any other person on Earth. ~ Charles Harvey MSW Wayne State UniversityĮvery Year I would go to my mailbox and take out a birthday card from my dearest friend. The Rest of the Story was canceled after three weeks with Limerick as host.Wilfred Webb was wrapped up in others and made an enormous bundle. (On the back cover of More of The Rest of the Story, the book is said to contain "True mysteries from history".) After the elder Harvey's death on February 28, 2009, ABC radio host Doug Limerick was chosen as the show's new host. Some of the radio stories were published in book form as The Rest of the Story and More of The Rest of the Story. The broadcasts always concluded with a variation on the tag line, "And now you know.the rest of the story." On the majority of radio stations, it often served as a mid-afternoon drive counterpart to Harvey's noontime News and Comment.įrom its inception, the scripts for the series had been drafted and the broadcasts produced by Harvey's son Paul Harvey Jr., who in later years of his father's career also acted as a substitute host. Beginning as a part of his newscasts during the Second World War and then premiering as its own series on the ABC Radio Networks on May 10, 1976, The Rest of the Story consisted of stories presented as little-known or forgotten facts on a variety of subjects with some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) held back until the end. The Rest of the Story was a Monday-through-Friday radio program originally hosted by Paul Harvey.
