Yogeshwar Hari Obituary
Born on April 2, 1941, Dr. Hari built a remarkable life of service, achievement, and generosity. He received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Punjab University in India before moving to the United States to pursue graduate studies. He went on to earn both his Master of Science and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, an achievement that became the foundation of his lifelong academic career.
Yogi was a Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he inspired generations of students with both his intellect and humility. His research, teaching, and mentorship left a lasting mark on the university and the field he so deeply loved. He earned the admiration of his students, who were deeply dedicated to him in return.
Yogi was also a pioneer within his family. As the first to immigrate to the United States from India, he not only paved the way for his own future but worked tirelessly to help bring nearly every member of his family to the United States. He supported them through the immigration process, secured housing and employment, and guided them as they built new lives. His selflessness and dedication to family created opportunities that will impact generations to come.
Yogi is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Veena Hari; his son, Yog Hari, and daughter-in-law, Judy Lynch Hari; his daughter, Vani Hari, and son-in-law, Finley Bland Clarke Jr.; his four adored grandchildren, Ian James Hari, Dylan Thomas Hari, Harley Diane Clarke, and Finley Bland Clarke III; and his brothers, Dr. Sukhdev Khurma and Gyaneshwar Hari. To his loved ones, he will always be remembered as a man of deep wisdom, boundless generosity, and enduring strength.
The private cremation ceremony will be held at Tribune & Talent Funeral Home in Charlotte, North Carolina for family only.
