The Old Man’s memorial
When Richard passed away the show’s fans were left really upset. He had been such an important part of the show for years. The old man’s family and the network thought that it would be a sweet gesture to Richard to make a memorial episode in his honor. The episode was an hour long and each pawn star spoke about Richard.
They all would miss his presence in their lives and in the shop. The memorial was a great way to say goodbye to the kind man who had created the Pawn Shop and not surprisingly also brought a ton of traffic to the show, no one wanted to miss it.
