There will be a public memorial at Sac-Anime con Sept 2nd at the outdoor stage at noon
http://www.sacconventions.com/
This is Hari and I at Sac-anime winter 2011 in his con-famous Jiraiya cosplay.
The con is held twice a year, sadly this year the winter con overlapped Fur Con... had I known it would be the last con we could ever attend with him my sister and I would have gone :C
Hari will forever live on in our hearts and I am glad to have known him even if it was for such a very short time. He was very special, he was so pure hearted and someone you could trust. He was kind and happy, and I will miss the way his eyes lit up when I showed him a fursuit head I had finished or shared interesting news with him (most of it geeky, like the new animated DBZ special that will happen next March)
My sister will miss him in more ways than I will ever understand, she lost a very important piece of her life.
What I find ironic is I have only known him since 2010 but we have been attending the same con for 10 years, I even remember the conga line he started in 2008 (I was stuck at my art table, I wanted to join) when trying to find video I found a blip of this conga line in a longer video and could make out a Jiraiya at the front, I told myself "I bet that is Hari" one search for "Sac-anime conga line" later I said "yup that was Hari and that would so be him to start a conga line" http://youtu.be/LR00qw-q3DU he was so fun, and he made sure people had fun, if you were sitting off to the side looking lonely at an event he would walk up and be sure you were okay.
Anyone who is able to make the memorial is welcome to attend. The event is a celebration of his life and costumes are encouraged.
PS I have faved several pieces of art created for my sister, if you have drawn something and do not see it in my faves please note me. The art has lifted her spirit in this time of need. I only wish Hari's twin sister
cattledogcrazy had an actual fursona so people could create art for her :<
(she only recently got into the whole furry thing)

I think this is the Jiraiya I met then, I remember him and a Naruto were goofing around on some exercise equipment, Naruto was doing one of those stepper things with his butt and Jiraya was doing a moon walk on the treadmill while holding onto the bars
He introduced himself to me by asking me if i wanted to see what was in the make out paradise book and i peeked in and it was an evagallion manga
It's a shame he passed away, even tho I only knew him for a few minutes he was quite awesome

Happiness cannot exist without sadness. It is truly a loss of a wonderful man,
a wonderful life you all got to know and love, especially your sister.
Words can only do so much but here I am sending you my love through my spirit,
My mind and hopefully these words can at least do their own part, which is offering that tiny sense of comfort.
Loosing someone is the worst feeling of them all.
And loosing someone you loved with all your heart is just devastating...
You all will heal from this..in time...
Your sister's doggies and her bf are all still here with everyone,
Just in a different form.
Time heals wounds.......but the scars will never really go away...
May this be the time for your family to become closer,
And may new things enlighten their way into your lives.....

I had a wonderful friend die from a hit and run about a year ago... One of our friends said this about him, and I will never forget it.
"People are put on earth to learn to love each other and make those around them happy. Those who are good at it don't have to stay as long"
Sounds like this fits Hari too.
I know I'm just another stranger, but believe me when I say you all are in my thoughts and I wish you the best.
To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.

i wish it was easier for me to get to that place and back on weekends without having a car. i know there IS a bus that gets close enough. i've riden it. but on weekends, well there's no bus where i am now on sundays, and even shorter hours then there are during the week on saturdays. if by any chance i happen to be living within where the sacramento buses run, come september 2nd i'll be there. i've been wanting to go for years now, but from up here in roseville, on weekends without a car, it would take a 15 mile hike on foot to get back. (even on a saturday, i'd have to start BACK no later then 2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon (to be able to catch the last roseville bus from the transfer point with r.t.) which i'm pretty sure is before very much of anything is even getting started.
i could take a chance on bumming a ride back, but there's no way i'd want to chance doing that to people, and odds are i'd end up walking instead if i did.
sorry to talk about myself here on this, but if i don't make it, this will be why.
of course my heart will be there with you in spirit at any rate, whether i'm physically there or not.
