OBITUARY Dr. Jen-Hung Chuan March 1, 1942 – November 27, 2018 Dr. Jen-Hung Chuan, age 76 years, passed away on November 27, 2018. He was born on March 1, 1942 in Kunming, China. He later moved with his family to Taiwan in 1948 and worked hard in school to gain admission into National Taiwan University.
After receiving a degree in Civil Engineering from the National Taiwan University, he then decided to come to the United States for graduate studies. From 1967 to 1972 he worked to get his PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder. Dr. Chuan worked for the aerospace industry most of his career, including many years of service at IBM, Lockheed Martin and United Space Alliance.
His coworkers valued his dependability, honesty and easygoing nature at work. After retirement, Dr. Chuan enjoyed walks on the greenbelt behind his home of over 40 years. He also became an avid bridge player and enjoyed many tournaments with the Clear Lake Bridge Club.
In addition, he traveled frequently, visiting Taiwan several times a year as well as exploring many other parts of the world. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family, including his wife, Tsu Yu, and his son Joseph, daughter Michelle, and their respective families. He was a proud grandfather, frequently challenging his grandkids skills in logic and math, and encouraging them to learn more on Khan Academy!
Dr. Chuan is survived by his wife, Tsu Yu Chuan, his son Joseph Chuan and daughter Michelle Dunaway, their spouses, Connie Chuan and Timothy Dunaway, and his five grandchildren, Jenna Chuan, Matthew Chuan, Andrew Dunaway, Alexander Chuan and Ethan Dunaway.
