This was quite a shock.  Hara Ra was always a welcome
fixture at the local cryo-schmoozes, a big jolly, friendly,
funny guy, boisterous, optimistic, forward looking.  As
an occasional poster to ExI-chat, he was at a couple of 
the extro-schmoozes, perhaps 3 and 4?  I recall his 
interests being in cryonics and life extension.    

May we all be inspired by his making the arrangements 
for cryonic suspension.  He will surely be missed by 
family, friends and even casual acquaintances.
