Rush,
From Anchorage to Tennesee, to north GA USAF retirement; we followed you. We still miss you, the parodies, and your wisdom. Hope to see you again one day, where there will be no cancer, tears, or death.

My old friend Rush. We spent 33 years together no matter where I was. You were either on the radio in my car or my home and in many different States. Being a professional artist, I know you could imagine what I had to deal with, but your keen sense of humor was brilliant. From the first moment I heard you on WABC 77AM when I was still living in Brooklyn, NY, I thought to myself, "Wow, this guy thinks just like me".
You may be gone, but NEVER forgotten.

Four years without you my friend. Your wisdom and insight was truly refreshing. It was an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to hear you over the years. You are missed.

Rush, I couldn't believe you left us so soon! I was heart broken. 3hr a day for 20 years I listened to your conservative sane evaluation of an insane world! I'm so glad G-d loaned your talent to us! You are always missed! Soar with the angels, Rush! Hope to meet you on the other side! Love, Sylvia L.

Two years without the brilliant commentary of Rush. A life taken too soon. To quote George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), “Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.”
May Rush, his lessons and his wisdom never be forgotten.

Rush, I miss you every single day. Still can’t come to terms with your passing. Doesn’t seem real. Nothing is the same without you. You were a big part of my life for 33 years. Still listen to your shows on Rush 24/7. Timeless wisdom for sure! I know you are in a better place. Rest well my friend. You earned it. Prayerfully we will meet again.

I miss you Rush. Being an orphan I hung on everything you said and applied it to my life. I had so wanted to shake your hand and tell you what you´ve done in my life. I love you Rush because you loved all of us. Till we meet in Heaven... (and I KNOW we will)but I still have those days when I & my husband both say: I miss Rush so much.

I turned in through reading both his books first,then fell in love with the Rush Revere series.
I understand satire and spoof better than most, and some of his most "controversial" statements were penned by others that he was reporting on.
Thanks so much for staying true to yourself. My writing is better, sharper, bolder because of you!

Rush. I talking to my sister about how much I miss you. We are still crushed by your absence. We realize that you were someone that moved us up in the darkest moments and you were always so positive. You made us feel good. You had the phone how to die or depression. Oh Rush, how we still miss you. We miss you so so so so much. You are going to soon and there’s nobody left to lift us up. You are such a wonderful treasure. A wonderful treasure to this earth. That is now gone.

My secret weapon since that glorious fall morning in Sacramento... Almost 40 years. My Constant Passenger moved with me across the country and made me look forward to Mondays. God I miss him. Rush was to whom we would turn during times of trouble turmoil tumult chaos and dismay -- such as his death. No disrespect to his "replacements" but they're not even in the same universe. God I miss him.

Dear Rush, you are sorely missed. It's hard to accept that I can no longer hear your voice and your words of wisdom and truth which are so needed during this time of turmoil and division in our beloved country. Thank you for the years you gave us. God Bless you and Katherine and all of your family.

Miss you everyday Rush. Like a beloved family member or friend. Time goes on, but we miss you more than you will ever know. Prayers Katherine, family and friends are doing ok and healing. We hope you are resting in peace after a bountiful journey you had down here for about 70 years.
Bridget

It's June 2021. I still miss hearing Rush's voice M-F on the radio. It is just not the same without him. A void has been left - unfilled - still. Here's hoping Katherine, the family, all his friends and co-workers are doing well. We pray for them as we do Rush. Who will help us heal? Still waiting....

Today was the last day of your show dear Rush. I cried almost as much as I did on the day you were called home. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you terribly. I pray for you every single day. From my heart, thank you for all you did for us and our great country. There should be a picture of you in the dictionary next to the word selfless. I picture you enjoying Heaven with your Dad, Mom, Grandparents, all of our vets, Renaldo Magnus and of course Jesus! Enjoy eternity my friend. You earned it! Love you always.

Thanks for letting me study for close to 30 years in the EIB. Thank you for your two books that I got to read in college, they helped me stay sane. Lastly, I hope to meet you in person one day and listen as I have for the past 30 years. You are the GOAT of talk radio and a towering intellect among many greats. My condolences to your family. You are truly missed and admired.

It's easy to say he had it easy but he worked very hard to achieve what he did and will be greatly missed by one and all. He saw the future we have now and warned us all what would happen and will happen in the future. He has completed his race and has kept the faith its up to us now the continue the fight to keep this country free and with Gods help we will win.

I would set my alarm just so I would not miss a minute of your show. Life is not the same without you Rush. No one can fill your shoes. I listened to your program with guest hosts for a month after your passing. though unfortunately , like Stevie Ray Vaugh , there will be no new songs from you. That is sad. I will never forget what I have learned from you. Mega- dittos Rush !

Rush affected my life in only positive ways. My former spouse sold the advertising at the radio station that carried Rush’s show from the start. I have two “Rush babies” who are 32 and 28 years old now. Blessings to Katherine and his family. Thank you, Rush, for saying it all for is! Blessings, as well.

I so saddened at the passing of Rush. The first time that I heard Rush was in 1991 on WBT, Charlotte, NC. I could not believe that I was hearing someone on the radio who was talking about saving the lives of babies, and I was thinking, "Who is this?" When I had heard callers on talk radio say that they were pro-life, a Christian or a conservative, they were cut off. I had prayed for God to give us someone who would not cut off pro-lifers, Christians, and conservatives, and did He ever answer that prayer. Rush had an unbeatable voice, and personality that no one could overcome. There will never be another Rush, and no one can take his place. He was one of a kind, and will be so sorely missed for there are no words to describe not having him on the radio anymore. He was always upbeat, and gave people hope no matter how bleak the situation looked. I am so thankful to God for letting us have Rush for the years that we did, and the impact that he made. My prayers, and thoughts are with the family, and may God comfort them as only He can.

Mu husband loves you and kept you in his prayers. He got me hooked on your show as well. I've been out of it for a bit due to my husband passing the end of December complications due to kidney failure. My heartfelt prayers got out to your wife, I know how bad it hurts to loose a loved one. God loves you (wife) Rush is now as peace with no more pain. God bless to family and close friends and associates. He was one of the good ones.

It has been a month since your passing, Rush, and there is still a large hole in my day. A day that for three hours was filled with your intelligent , well thought out explanations of the current events delivered in an entertaining fashion. I teach AP Economics and would pass you words on to my classes. Incidentally, my classes were filled to capacity every semester often with students standing and/or sitting on the floor.
I miss our daily visits, my brother. I have been praying for you and for our country.
