The old man’s real death
“The old man” or the father of the show, Richard Harrison passed away in June 2018. Sadly, unlike Chumlee’s fake death, this wasn’t fake news. Fans were extremely sad to hear what had happened. Richard was only 77 when he died, and the whole family was also extremely heartbroken.
Richard was the rock of the family and had a no-nonsense down to earth vibe. He worked hard and pushed his family to succeed. He opened up the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop together in the 1980’s. He ran it and trained his sons to run it for almost 40 years!
