I think he was the very best part of the show. Rest in Peace and Godspeed.

    I agree. His thoughts were always a great part of the show. Heck, he started that business after his service to the Military. A truly self made millionaire. Him being a workaholic got him to where he was. He always opened the shop! He, like my parents, drank coffee all day, every day. It's just what they did.

    The "Old Man" said " Coffee is the nectar of the Gods" I believe.

    It seemed like he lived a great and full life and provided a living for a whole lot of people also.

    I loved the episode when the "Old Man" bought those BIG pure silver figurines of two Indians. I loved them too.
    Well, his son Rick, asked his dad how much in melt value they would be compared to what the "Old Man" paid for them.

    MELT VALUE?!!!! Are you crazy son!

    These are works of art! I think he said.

    I always looked for those figurines on the shelf in the back ground of many, many episodes. I think they were valued at 6K. If I had hit a Lottery, I had planned on going and buying them. Getting my picture with the "Old Man" and them and I together!

    I always loved his wit and humor!

    And where he got his hair cut was also a cool side to him most never knew about. B)

    RIP Mr. Harrison. Thanks for the wisdom and laughs! ;)
