Richard Benjamin Harrison Harrison died on June 25, 2018, after a battle with Parkinson's disease.[58][59] His funeral was held July 1, with his casket draped in an American flag on account of his service in the Navy. His son Rick eulogized him thus: "He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool ‘Old Man’ as my dad. That I got to share him with so many others and they got to see what a great family man he was is something I am grateful to have experienced with him." Harrison was survived by wife JoAnne, three sons, 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.[60] Harrison placed his son Rick in charge of his estate. Christopher Harrison, the youngest of Harrison's three sons, was intentionally omitted from his father’s will.[61]
