Gin-Weigh Wu, Ph.D, aged 62, passed away on March 5th in Holmdel.
Born in I-Lan, Taiwan in 1961 to Suhyueh Forng Wu and the late Tzongtang Wu, Gin-Weigh was raised in Taipei where he completed his high school education and went on to graduate from National Tsing Hua University with his Bachelor’s degree. Following his two-year military service, he worked as a Research Assistant at the university. During this time, he met his beloved Chin Yun, whom he married in Taiwan. Gin-Weigh later moved to Missouri to pursue his Master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He and Chin Yun then started a family and moved to Seattle, WA before settling in Holmdel, NJ in 1998 with their two daughters.
Throughout his career, Gin-Weigh worked as a software engineer for AT&T and as a medical physicist for several medical centers, including Monmouth Medical Center, Hershey Medical Center, and Morristown Medical Center.
Gin-Weigh was a man of many talents and interests. He had a zest for life and enjoyed various hobbies such as gardening, karaoke, expressing his artistic abilities, and playing games of all sorts with family and friends. He loved traveling the world with his wife and watching Disney movies or animated shows on his massage chair. Gin-Weigh had a passion for everything he did and was especially passionate about his next meal. He was very generous in all aspects of his life and never hesitated to volunteer his time at the Jersey Shore Chinese School where he served as a board member, Language Director, and consultant for many years. Gin-Weigh loved hosting and was always the life of the party, whether it was a casual gathering, a big celebration, or a mahjong tournament.
Gin-Weigh is survived by his mother, Suhyueh Forng Wu, his loving wife Chin Yun Lee Wu, his daughters Samantha Wu of Washington D.C. and Christina Wu of NYC, his siblings Joan Wu, Vivian Wu, and Ada Tseng, as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Tzongtang Wu.
A funeral service for Gin-Weigh will be held on March 14th at 2PM at Holmdel Funeral Home.
In lieu of traditional remembrances, please consider making a donation in Gin-Weigh’s name to his sister Ada’s charity Ayi Can Help http://www.Ayicanhelp.org For those who wish to offer condolences or share a favorite memory of Gin-Weigh, please visit his tribute page at www.HolmdelFuneralHome.com.

憶友之走：
生命短長 後人之傷
斯人已走 不見何方
憶其豪爽 笑聲宏亮
時而思及 深刻印象
老友再聚 悲喜交集
為己悲乎 為伊應喜
塵旅之行 倏爾完成
未停奮鬥 無懼坎坷
以他為引 吾等續行
歡聲盈耳 不愧餘生
—————————————
聽到 吳兄突然走了，
本能的感到震驚與難過， 也為他的家人悲傷 ，一切實在太突然了。
但是也有不解。他不止尚屬年輕、個性樂觀 、身體強壯 ，為人也風趣健談 ，總是笑聲不斷。
與他交往 ，很容易受到感染 ，跟著一起忘懷嘻笑 ，感受到生活愉快 。
但是在樂觀之下生活並非容易，他只是以樂觀的態度解決問題 。不止解決自家的問題 ，他還熱心公益 ，投入大量時間。
就這樣他奮鬥了一生 ，帶給家人美滿富足。做為朋友 ，我也受惠於他的貢獻。
想多了 ，還是不解 。只能說 ，這就是人生 ，充滿了意外 ，也有必然，像是被悲傷裹住 。 但是 ，活著的人必須繼續走下去 ；而且像他一樣 ，要樂觀生活 ，享受生命。
所以我寫了以上幾句詩歌 ，來吟誦而緩解不捨之情 。希望與他的家人及朋友共享。
唐代因敬悼

如春風笑容不斷，中氣同儕冠。
人稱麥霸唱無休，麻將胡牌任意豈強求。
若時雨來者莫拒，紓困常仁舉。
新海奉獻盡餘生，今後笑談嘻耍與誰仍?

His smiles might not be the most gracious,
but they were the most contagious.
His karaoke singing might not sound like an artist,
but it definitely was the loudest.
His mahjong skills might not be of great finesse,
but his winning very often made us a mess.
He might not be the most prosperous,
but he always was very generous.
He might not be the most scholastic,
but no one else could make balloon puppies more fantastic.
His legend might not be the most decorated,
but it will be forever commemorated.

It was our pleasure to meet Papa Wu when Christina and our grandson Brian graduated from Notre Dame, and we loved his cheerful personality. As time went by, we heard many stories and saw many photos of Mr. Wu and his family - always with that beautiful smile on his face. May he rest in peace.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We feel so fortunate to have spent joyful time with Mr. Wu these passed few years. He had an infectious laugh— it was practically impossible to get through his storytelling without the room erupting in laughter. He laughed the hardest at himself which was a beautiful quality. He had a zest for life that is unmatched and many admirable passions. Our heart was so warmed and we are forever grateful for the enthusiasm he had to welcome Brian as a son. We will hold our wonderful memories of Mr Wu close to our hearts and will continue to love Christina, Samme and Mrs Wu deeply, the way he did. Xox Kelly & Matt McCarthy

I remember back to my freshman year in college, when I was incredibly excited to meet Mr. Wu for the first time. His daughter, Christina, had shared many hilarious and heartwarming stories with me during our first few months at school and I felt like I was meeting a celebrity. In fact, when the time came, I was so starstruck that I forgot to say hello to Mrs. Wu who was in the same room and who I was also meeting for the first time!
Since that first meeting I have been lucky enough to experience the immense joy and laughter that Mr. Wu has brought to his daughters, Samme and Christina, and to his wife, Chin Yun (who has hopefully forgiven me for that ill-fated first encounter!).
Mr. Wu had a beautiful way of turning an ordinary moment into one filled with laughter. He always had us chuckling with his selfies – the one here is from Christina and Brian’s engagement (it was so hard getting the excited couple’s attention, so he decided to take a selfie with “the girls” instead). He also often made us smile with his inventive solutions to any problem: like how he stapled curtains to the ceiling in mine and Christina’s apartment to hide the styrofoam noise barrier he had built.
Through all his jokes and witty comments, one thing was clear – how much he loved Mrs. Wu, Samme, Christina and, of course, the newest addition to the family – Brian! Mr. Wu, thank you for your kindness and your warmth and for always making sure I left your home with a full and happy stomach (I think the record was feeding me, Christina and Shannon eight scallion pancakes!). Your smile is unmatched and will ring through in our hearts forever.

I have been working with Gin-Weigh in the past 14 years, his optimism, kindness and sharing will be remembered. Right after Covid outbreak, we were short of face masking and eye shields in our department, he obtained a large amount of masks through his channel and effort so that co-workers were fully protected without worrying. In the past, we talked a lot of family and chinse school, I can feel how much he loves his wife and two daughters. In the summer time, Gin-Weigh always brought fruits and vegetable from his garden and shared with me. Over the years he has become a big brother and excellent educator in my mind, I would call him for any help. Gin-Weigh will be remembered.
Rest in peace

As a long-time friend for 35 years, it really broke my heart when I heard this news. I still cannot sleep well for the past a few days, all the old memories kept coming back to me. He is such a great friend, with great personality, always in a helping mind. All the pictures we have you can tell immediately that Gin-Weigh is the one with the most beautiful smile. I don't know why God want to take him so early, he is the angel in this world to comfort all the friends who have this honor to be with him in our journey. Rest in Peace and will see you in heaven some day.
