[NA] The Old Man from ‘Pawn Stars’ dies at 77

RyanB · Jun 25, 2018

Passed away this morning after a long battle from Parkinson’s Disease. It’s also been said that he was a heavy smoker. I was able to see Rick during a visit to Las Vegas a couple of years ago, unfortunately the Old Man wasn’t around at the time.

Sad to hear. If I watched the show, it was only for the old man.

Only 77.?? I thought he was in his mid/late 80s.

Yea that dude looked way older

Been years since I watched the show didn’t know it was still on

Yeah I was surprised to find out he was only 77, he looked much older. Could be largely due to the heavy smoking that he did.

The math isn’t working out there or my memory that he claimed to be in wwII is faulty.

Lost Dan Ingram, too. Those from the wide NY area will remember Dan from WABC in its heyday.

He was in the Navy on a WWII era ship, but I post war.
