Pawn Stars 'The Old Man' passes on.
2018-06-25
[ABC] Richard Benjamin Harrison -- known to millions of "Pawn Stars" fans as "The Old Man" -- has died, according to a post on the official Facebook page for Las Vegas' Gold and Silver Pawn shop, the setting for the hit reality show. He was 77 years old.

"The Old Man" is the father to Rick Harrison, who is the main star of the show and the current leader of the shop, often teaching viewers about the ins and outs of the pawn business.

"It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of Richard Benjamin Harrison...this morning," the post began Monday. "He was surrounded by loving family this past weekend and went peacefully."

#3  In other news... proprietor of jewelry shop beneath no-name Kolkata brothel still thriving! Don't mind me, I'm just envious -- green to the gills -- of anyone who'd think the phrase "Vegas pawn shop," hear the inherent magic, have the guts to act, make a success of it, and finally transmute it into a hugely popular mass media sermon on thrift and consequences and stuff? Holy crap. Put up a statue!
