Mr.Hari was one of the first people I met when I became GM at the FRC 14 years ago. He always was influential in helping us make decisions and was so supportive of our efforts. He had great insights and judgment and I found his humor to be very necessary to my balance of not taking myself so seriously. I really loved him. Charlie

Jim was a wonderful person who was devoted to his employees and union. He was a role model to everyone in the industry and just a heck of nice guy. I wish I could have spent more time with him. He had so many fascinating stories to tell. God Bless you Jim. We will miss you.
