Paul Montgomery Memorial Service
“Time for Uncle Paul” was the most enduring and beloved children’s program in WRAL-TV history. The show aired weekday mornings from 1961-1981 and featured the legendary Paul Montgomery as “Uncle Paul” — a jovial studio ringmaster who delighted pre-school children and adults alike with a simple formula of fun and games. Although he was blind, he was also an accomplished pianist with an emphasis on jazz. Paul died on Christmas Eve 2002 at the age of 78.
