LAS VEGAS โ Video clips of reality TV figure Richard Harrison played in a Las Vegas funeral home where the patriarch of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop empire was remembered as a Navy veteran, husband, father and sometimes cranky character.

Harrison, 77, Dies After Fighting Parkinsonโs
Harrison died June 25 after a fight with Parkinsonโs disease. He was 77.
โHe seemed like a really nice guy and kind of reminded me of my father,โ Las Vegas area resident Jack Leclair said.
Leclair watched the show since its 2009 launch, he said, and visited the store on Las Vegas Boulevard but never met Harrison.
Served in the Navy For 20 Years
Harrisonโs casket was draped during a private ceremony with an American flag to honor his 20 years of Navy service. A photo showed him with his wife of 58 years, JoAnne. He also is survived by sons Joseph, Rick and Chris Harrison, 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Richard Harrison was born March 4, 1941, in Danville, Virginia. His father, a welder and carpenter, moved the family to Lexington, North Carolina, where Harrison spent most of his childhood.
In the Navy, he was transferred to San Diego in 1967, and rose to the rank of petty officer first class. He was discharged in the late 1970s and began helping his wife with her real estate business.
โPawn Starsโ Debuted in 2009
The family moved to Las Vegas in 1981, and Harrison relocated his business to its current Las Vegas Boulevard address in 1988.
In July 2009, โPawn Starsโ made its debut, featuring Harrison, his son Rick, grandson Corey and family friend Austin โChumleeโ Russell. It is set to begin filming its 16th season in September.
