James Yuen

James was born in Washington, DC on April 29, 1935 to Ting Guey and Leng Shee Yuen. He was a humble and unassuming man, who valued his independence. He served in the US Army and on returning home, he worked in private industry as a draftsman for many years. He later worked in the dry cleaning business before retiring in the 1990’s.

James’ favorite hobby in his younger days was building and painting intricate model airplanes. He was an expert on using public transportation to explore the local area. James was a loving caregiver to his late mother. He loved to be around his large family which included nine brothers and sisters and their families. James never missed a family get-together or celebration. He was dearly loved by his nieces and nephews, and he was always happy and smiled a lot in their presence. He had a competitive streak, especially when he played cornhole with them. More recently James loved to watch them participate in sports and the arts, and traveled far and wide to attend their games and events.

James is survived by his brothers and sisters Kenneth (Berna) Yuen, Thomas (Mary) Yuen, Charley (Wanda) Yuen, Evelyn (Gene) Lee, Jennie Lee, David (Nita) Yuen. He was preceded in death by his sisters Margaret Lee and Annie Yuen, his brother and sister-in-law Billy and Edith Yuen, and his brother-in-law Raymond Lee. James also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. James will be greatly missed by his loving family.
