Quey Tsu Tsay, 蔡貴智

Granddaughter Sarah's report about her grandfather, written when she was in 6th grade:

"Quey Tsu Tsay was born in the city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan on May 28, 1943. He had a loving mom and dad who taught good manners to him, his three brothers, and two sisters. His mom was loving and capable, she helped in his dad's business and took care of her kids. Quey's chores were cleaning up rooms, helping to take care of his younger siblings, and running errands. 

Quey did not have any toys, but he played with tadpoles, giant red ants, dragonflies, moths, marbles and crickets. 

His pets were silkworms and his favorite food was popsicles. His mom and dad were very important to him as a child. One of the stories he remmebers as a child is The Monkey King.  

In Quey's teenage years, his favorite subjects were biology and chemistry. He did fun things like making movies by drawing many pictures on a strip of paper and pulling it through a frame. He also bought candy and sold it to his friends for more than he paid for it. He also served in the army for one year, as required for all Taiwanese young men. His first job was being a teaching assistant after he finished military service in Taiwan. One of Quey's favorite memories was when his grandfather brought him a harmonica after a business trip to Japan.

Quey Tsu Tsay met Wu-Mei Kuo in Taipei, Taiwan. Three days after getting married, they moved from Taiwan to Utah. Later they moved to New York,  Ohio, New Jersey and California. They lived in nine places during their marriage.

Quey thought these ideas are important in raising kids: love them, set guidelines for them, be gentle, be loving and be considerate. His life was blessed.

Quey was the only parent who worked outside of home, but his wife worked hard to take care of the family. For his job, he did research for making fiberglass. He worked from 8am to 5pm and enjoyed his job. When he was not at work, he played sports, traveled, listened to classical music, read and took pictures. 

His major life accomplishments are: patenting his company's fiberglass, using computer simulation to make fiberglass, having two great daughters, three great granddaughters, and helping other people. He overcame challenges in life through his faith in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. His challenges in life helped him learn the meaning of life and taught him to build strength and peace of mind and to enjoy his abundant life."

Additional notes from the family:

Quey is survived by his wife Wu-Mei, daughters Shirley and Anna, sons-in-law William and Ted, granddaughters Sarah, Sofie, and Joanna, and five siblings:

Ching-Rong, Shu-Huey, I-Pin, Meei-Huey, and Tien-Hsiang.
