Richard’s son Joseph Kent Harrison has no ties to the entertainment industry. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and ask that we are provided some privacy at this time.Ī post shared by Rick Harrison on at 6:57am PDT He lived a very full life and through the History television show ‘Pawn Stars’ touched the lives of people all over, teaching them the value of loving your family, hard work and humor. That I got to share him with so many others and they got to see what a great family man he was is something I am grateful to have experienced with him. He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool ‘Old Man’ as my dad. He will be tremendously missed by our family, the team at Gold & Silver Pawn and his many fans the world over. Richard Benjamin ‘The Old Man’ Harrison passed away this morning surrounded by those he loved. The Old Man lost his long battle with Parkinson’s this morning. Rick posted a tribute to his father on Instagram after his death, writing: “Today I lost a friend, a father, a teacher and so much more. He currently co-owns the shop with his son Corey. The book reached #22 on The New York Times Best Seller. I speak with other pawn brokers all the time.” In 2011, Harrison published License to Pawn: Deals, Steals, and My Life at the Gold & Silver. “I never thought we’d be in 152 countries and 38 languages… Everybody absolutely loves it. It was eventually picked up by the History Channel in 2009. “I was hoping to get a season or two to help our business”, he told CBS News. Rick then came up with the idea of basing an entire reality series around his family’s shop, and spent five years pitching it to different networks. The shop grew in popularity, reportedly bringing in a whopping $700,000 in interest income by the early 2000s, which led to its appearance on a 2003 episode of Insomniac with Dave Attell. Rick Harrison co-founded the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop with his parents in 1989.
