- What could make a man leave his loving wife and children behind? A wife and children he dearly loved? Another woman? Better Opportunity? Lack of Luck? Freedom? To explain, here’s Paul Harvey.

We need another Paul Harvey😊🎉
Yes we do. :)
@@BradDison 💯💥👍
Brad is our new Paul Harvey. I think Mr Harvey would be proud!
His are big shoes to fill. I hope he would at least approve of what I'm doing. :)@@beckybanta126
Sometimes, it's easy to forget (or never have known) what some wealthy people have been through becoming wealthy.
That's very true. :)
When our hired hand on the farm retired after many years with my family ; my father asked him what he would like as a retirement gift. He replied , " Yes there is - I'd like to visit the John Deere headquarters and manufacturing plant in the mid-west " . Request granted.
Wow. That's pretty neat. I'd like to see that. :)
Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Paul Harvey was is and will always be the epitome of the two words "National Treasurer"
I agree completely. :)
John Deere Tractors and Farm Equipment was really good quality and very well built. 4020 Tractor best tractor we ever owned!
I've always heard they were the best. :)
👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Judds - "John Deer Tractor".
Sad story.
:)
I own a John Deere tractor. This one was especially interesting for me.
I'm glad you enjoyed listening. Thank you. :)
And very few people know that Raymond Massey worked at his family's tractor manufacturing company up in Canada before he got interested in acting as a career.
Wow....did he ever...see his children again....did he support them????So sad and amazing at the same time
That part disturbed me as well. I'm digging deeper into this one. :)
To me being a success at the cost of my family would be too high a price to pay for tge entire family.
Shelley West and David Frizzell, "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma". David sings:
I worked ten hours on a John Deere tractor, just thinkin', of you all day...................................
Oh yeah. Great song. I'd forgotten about that one. I've gotta listen to it now. Thank you. :)
Another thing is that John Deere built plows before people ordered them. So he had instant stock on hand. Prior to him, blacksmiths built items to order. That could mean a long delay when you needed a plow or something.
Wow. That certainly would've given him the advantage. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
As other commenter are asking, does anyone know what became of the wife & children he left behind? It's hardly a success story if he ran away as a coward & didn't even support them. I'm hoping there is a postscript where he sent for them so they could share in his success.
I'll have to delve deeper into this one. It disturbed me as well. I'll let y'all know what I learn. :)
Now you need a computer tech to fix a john deere
I wouldn't doubt it. :)
John Deere is the LAST brand of tractor I'd buy today. They are the "Apple" of heavy equipment in that they do not support the right to repair. It sucks that this once great company has been transformed into one of the more anti-consumer brands. P.S. I wonder if he even ever supported the family he left after he became successful?
I wonder about that myself! If he ever supported his family!
I've never had any experience with a John Deere. I'm curious about the family too. I'll dig deeper into this one. :)
I'll see what I can find out. He doesn't sound like a very nice person if he didn't.
In a way this story is kind of sad because he left his wife and children, including a new baby soon to be born. John probably thought about them often, and the same goes for his wife thinking about him.
I hope they thought about each other often. Surely they had to. :)
Frankie Miller, 1940's had a song called "Poppin' Johnny".
I'll have to look it up. I love music from the 40s. Thank you for the tip. :)
He brought his wife and kids to Illinois a year later.
:)
Kenny Chesney, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"..... Well, she ain't into cars or pick up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere, man her eyes light up
Oh yeah. I'd forgotten about that one. hahaha. Thank you, Mr. McAnerney. :)
Near as I can tell from Wikipedia (so take that as you will) his wife and children joined him in Illinois. He's mentioned here as having 4 daughters and a child on the way, when he ran, but he fathered 9 children in his life, and sold his business to his son Charles, and a son-in-law, before he died. Only one wife was mentioned.
I also learned that after his wife died, he married his wife's sister. I definitely need to learn more about John Deere. :)
I can understand. Seems like "bad luck" has been following me all my life. Just keep hoping my "Deere" falls in my lap one day... but I doubt it. Good story. Good commentary.
Thank you very much, Mr. Barnard. I've been called Bad Luck Brad for as long as I can remember. :)
@@BradDisonMaybe it is not bad luck but just a new direction to take than orginally planned. I am my family's most clumsy which has resulted in too many mishaps. But I did a esrn a trophy from my family as the winner of "Oh no, not again!" 🥴
John Deere tractor by Larry Sparks
I haven't heard that. I'll check it out. :)
I hope you found it and another song is John Deere Green by Joe Diffie
I know another song: "The 'Hey dere, Milwaukee" Polka" by Chicago dj Jonathan Brandmeier.
I haven't heard that one but I'll look it up. Thank you for the tip, Mr. Cundari. :)
Id like to know what happened to the wife and children. Did the children make a claim of inheritance against his estate?
I need to look into that. I'd like to know that as well. :)
Did he ever pay his debt to his former partner?
I don't know if he did or not. I need to research this one a little more. Other people have brought up concerns with different parts of this episode. Thank you for listening and commenting, Mr. Carr.
I am very surprised that Paul Harvey, of ALL people, didn't mention the wife and 3 and one-half kids left behind. That makes me believe that our "John" was one of our original dirtbags. I don't see anything to be proud about there.
That's right. I was disturbed by this aspect of the story as well. I'll see what I can find out. :)
Really....think about it...GoD bless

His family joined him later and the baby she was pregnant with Ran Deere company for years.
Obligatory First, LOL.
Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoyed. :)
I remember hearing his broadcast, or re-broadcast of this story. To my recollection it ended with Paul saying - "...thats why they say ""nothing runs like a Deere""... Now you know the rest of the story"
It may have. Surely I didn't get an edited copy of the broadcast. :)
