The old man from pawn stars passed away. I just got the news and I must say I am saddened over his passing.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

I'm sorry to hear that.

His wit and wry humor made the show worth watching (and Pennylady's episode (Charmy) too of course).
RIP

I liked him in a cantankerous kind of way. RIP Mr. Harrison.

I enjoyed his spot on the show. I will miss him.

Pawn Stars 'Old Man' was a fine gentleman and he reminded me very much of several old-timey coin dealers
I liked how he would buy an old car and fix it up for himself for no other reason than he liked it and he wanted to. Plus he hoarded silver.
A real inspiration.
RIP Sailor

The Old Man hoarded pre-1982 cents until the rest of the staff sent his stuff to the bank (without telling him first).
He came to a PCGS Invite about 2-3 years ago. he was grumpy but happily posed for pics
Whenever the seller try to counter his offer for more then he would lower his original offer. He cracks me up every time.
RIP
Saw him and some crew at a PCGS Members Only here in Vegas. They were dropping off coins for grading.
Was going to say hello but they were really busy with the PCGS crew and left quickly so did not get the chance.

Very sorry to hear this also as I used to go there quite a bit looking for coins and bullion before they made it big.
I like what many of you said above me and agree. He was an interesting person and like wise for his family.
I have always liked the show and even though somewhat scripted, without that it would be very boring as these are every day people like you and me, not actors. rip

His wit, intelligence and wry humor will not soon be forgotten. RIP old man. Belly up to Heaven's bar and have a shot, a beer and a cigar. Make sure you leave the Angels a tip.

In later episodes he didn't really look good. Kinda figured it was going to happen.
Of course, not that I wanted it to.

'Old Man' is a badge of honor.
RIP Richard 'Old Man' Harrison
Sad to hear. I enjoy the show.

Well I like him too, he called it the way he saw it.. RIP
...can I cherry pick the wheat hoard?
He will be missed. His wit and humor and style is something you just don't get anymore. It is sad to see this type of man pass. I am glad though he has left his legacy behind to good people. My heart goes out to them.
I bet they'll be finding boxes of rolls years from now haha.
He really grounded the show, or the boys!!!!!!!!!! He'll be missed!
Oh and lol. One of the Old Man's quotes.
"Buy silver, sell silver, buy silver."
Always like him and his son (Rick) but could do without Cory. Also lost a lot on interest in the show when I found out some years ago that it was all staged/scripted.
I knew it was WWE storyline BS from the get go. But you'd never have a show otherwise. Or, you'd have a bad one. I agree with not having Cory. Could have done without him and his druggie friend. I don't blame Rick for not wanting to make him partner. A few arrests of the people surrounding him and so much more makes sense.
I have only seen two or three episodes (one was Charmy's)...I do not watch much TV... But the 'old man' was humorous what little I saw...Cheers, RickO
the old man was great, RIP, the show "jumped the shark" for me when they
tried to make it the " chumlee comedy hour"
The vast majority of material that people pawn is jewelry, and I am not talking Marie Antoinette's ring or Charles Lindbergh's watch. Who wants to see jilted brides pawning engagement rings or young hip hop wannabes hawking gold chains. There was another show called "Hardcore Pawn" about a shop in Detroit and it was a bit more realistic (but still staged), but mostly all reality show style drama and upheaval. "Pawn Stars" is more educational and fun.
rip and my condolences to the family
I wasn't a big far of Pawn Stars... but the old man was my favorite character.
I think he showed a genuine Tough Love for the boys
