Pawn Stars “The Old Man” dies.

This makes me sad.

I thought he was older than 77. I liked his role on the show because he added a sense of reality to it.

One of the few shows I regularly watch. Hadn’t seen him on the show in a while. Interesting guy.

Dude must have lived a hard life. He looked 80 when the show started. RIP.

While his original enlistment in the Navy was a little less than honourable (stole a car when he was 17 and given a choice), the Old Man ultimately served 20 years. Thank you for your service and Rest In Peace.

I don't know a lot about dead guys. I've got a buddy who's an expert about dead guys.

RIP

He suffered a stroke a year or so ago and more or less retired to a quiet life with just family. His health was not good the last few years.

A shame that he's gone. I bet he could have written a heck of a book about his life experiences.

I watch the show sometimes ,
its very apparent when he is talking and when "The show" is making him talk.

He might have been a good guy to know in person.

He was into buying silver and gold as often as he can.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Seemed like a cool guy. I have not watched the show in a long time but I enjoyed it and him.

I always enjoyed when they would head to the range with some cool toy they picked up.
