Obituary: Harry L. USHER, the no-nonsense
general manager of the 1984 Olympics and right-hand man to Peter V. Ueberroth in
those highly successful Los Angeles Games, died Thursday while exercising at a
hotel gym in Secaucus. He was 61.
Mr. USHER, who had a history of heart problems,
apparently had suffered a heart attack.
A Rutherford native, Mr. USHER was often given credit,
along with Ueberroth, for producing an Olympics with a surplus of $232 million,
the most in the movement's history. In a typical example of stringent fiscal
control, it was Mr. USHER's policy to personally
approve every expenditure of $1,000 or more.
The surplus put the Olympic movement on a new, more successful course eight
years after the debacle of a $1 billion deficit in the
1976 Montreal Games.
Pursuing fiscal success, Mr. USHER was so secretive in
his direction of the Olympic staff that he once directed employees to turn over
all sensitive papers on their desks when the board of directors of the Los
Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, his own nominal supervisors, came through
for a visit.
The act reflected Mr. USHER's and Ueberroth's belief
that even the board could not prove steadfast enough in pursuing a profitable
Games.
Mr. USHER, who had had two open-heart surgeries, one
when he was only 36, was in New Jersey on a consulting mission for General
Electric Financial Services Corp. at the time of his death.
At Rutherford High School, Mr. USHER was quarterback in
1955-56.
He also was a baseball and basketball player.
"You couldn't go wrong with 10 players like him on your side," one of
his high school coaches, Tom Hanlon, said in 1985, when Mr. USHER
was named commissioner of the United States Football League.
He went on to Brown University, where he played football and baseball. He moved
to California while attending Stanford Law School.
In addition to his football and Olympics positions, Mr. USHER
was a trustee for Brown University and was president of the Beverly Hills Bar
Association.
"Harry had the unusual skill to be a leader and a friend to everyone with
whom he came into contact," Ueberroth said Thursday.
"He had boundless energy. . . . Harry was a comrade and a partner of mine
in a historic endeavor of the City of Los Angeles. For me personally, he will be
a most sorely missed pal."
Mr. USHER is survived by his wife, Jane Ellison-USHER;
and six children.
