The famed "Pawn Stars" shop is already honoring its TV patriarch, Richard Harrison, a day after his death ... and fans can pay their respects in a number of ways.
Sources close to the family of Richard, best known as "Old Man," tell TMZ ... a makeshift memorial was set up in the corner of the Gold & Silver shop in Las Vegas in remembrance of their late founder. As we reported, "Old Man" died Monday ... and his memorial is already getting tons of love.
The shrine includes his signature chair, hat and coffee cup -- plus a life-sized cutout of him and photos from his office too. We're told fans and customers alike have been dropping off flowers and other items in droves.
We broke the story ... Harrison lost his battle with Parkinson's Disease. He was surrounded by loved ones when he passed at the age of 77.

I hope they buried him in the biggest damn Cadillac they could find.
Always thought that the guy was a jerk. Ric is the whole show.
Yep!
He was the only reason I watched the show. Navy veteran.
He reminded of some of my own “Crusty, but Loveable” relatives.
He knew that he could play the grumpy old guy, pick on his smarty kid, Ric; try to teach Corey about life and just laugh at the village idiot, Chumlee.
Pawn Stars is Antique Roadshow on the strip every week. They laugh at themselves and we laugh with them. As a grumpy old guy, I will miss him.
In his defense, if I had Corey and Chumlee working for me, I’d be pretty grouchy too.
The whole show is a con job. Phony, setup bullcrap.
With fins. It's gotta have big fins.
How about a big “cuss jar?”
LOL, I agree. I haven't seen Pawn Stars in a long time, but my late mother loved this show. The Old Man, a Navy vet, was her favorite. My mother served in the U.S. Navy as a WAVE in World War II.
I always thought The Old Man was MUCH older than his real age. I was shocked to learn he was only 77 when he died. Back when the show started in 2009 or so, he looked (to me anyway) to be well into his 80s.
Rest in peace, Old Man. Thank you for your service to our country.
At least 10 years since I Watched...
Great concept.
Neil Young’s song “Old Man” would fit this situation.
Loved the old man... RIP

and the license plate had to say “NOTADUMBASS”
He had a preference for Chrysler Imperials.
Which is probably why he hasn’t been on the show the past couple of seasons.
is that you old man ?
