CHANG-SHI LU Obituary
age 78, passed away September 23, 2017. Beloved husband of Evelyn
(nee Lien). Loving grandfather of Caroline and Juliet.Devoted father
of Cyrus. Dear brother of Chang-Shin, Chang-Li and Chang-Shun Lu.
Uncle to many and dear friend to all that knew him. Born in China in
1939, his family moved to Taiwan where he attended National Taiwan
University. In the year between his undergraduate education and his
Master's degree, he spent a year teaching mathematics where he would
meet Evelyn. A pursuit to continue education moved Chang-shi to the
United States; first to Florida and then to University of Virginia
where he obtained his PhD in Fluid Dynamics and was joined by
Evelyn. Chang-shi and Evelyn were married in Virginia and recently
celebrated 49 years of a loving and supportive partnership. They
settled in Strongsville, Ohio. Chang-shi was employed by Parker
Hannifin for nearly 30 years and was granted a patent for
transferring of fuel under negative gravity conditions that was
applied to the Harrier Airplane. Chang-shi was a family man and was
devoted to his son's (Cyrus) activities, whether it was boy scouts,
golf, advice, or any and all necessary encouragement. As an
immigrant, his close ties to the Cleveland Chinese community
developed into a surrogate family that still remains strong to this
day. He loved golf and more recently developed a passion for
woodworking. In recent years he could often be found at the
Strongsville Senior Center Woodshop making gifts to his friends for
special occasions. Most of all he loved his family and friends. In
his retirement, he found joy supporting his granddaughter Caroline
in her activities or celebrating Juliet's milestones. He was
Caroline's biggest cheerleader at her swim meets. He was a constant
student, who continued to learn new skills with tenacity throughout
his life. He was a modest man with an engaging and positive
personality. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. He will
be forever missed by his family and friends. VISITATION 1-4 PM
MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, at JARDINE FUNERAL HOME, 15822 PEARL ROAD,
Strongsville. where a Memorial Service will follow at 4 PM. The
family suggests memorial contributions to Strongsville Senior Center

The OCA Greater Cleveland Chapter and the Chinese
Community regret to announce the passing of one of it's community
leaders, Dr. Chang-Shi Lu. Dr. Lu served as the Chairman of the
Chinese Association of Greater Cleveland for two terms before it
merged with OCA Northeast Ohio to form the Organization of Chinese
Americans of Greater Cleveland (OCAGC) in 1991.
-------
The Late Dr. Chang Shi LU was former Chairman of the Board of
Chinese Association of Greater Cleveland (CAGC), an organization
targeted on social events for the Greater Cleveland Chinese
Community. At that time, the CAGC Board, headed by Dr. Alex Mark,
decided to nominate an individual from the west side as his
successor. For reasons unknown, members of the organization were
mainly from the east side. Hopefully, more west-siders would join
the organization by having a west side leader. Dr. LU’s term as
Chairman of CAGC is from 1986 to 1990. During the four years, there
were a lot of activities in the Cleveland Chinese Community, namely:
the erection of Chinese Cultural Garden with Confucius Statute
standing in the middle of a stone marble platform at MLK Blvd. north
of Chester Avenue; Planning of a Chinatown in the Cleveland Downtown
Area; Invitation of Taiwan Economic and Cultural Representatives and
also the Embassy of People’s Republic of China to come to Cleveland
for many occasions; founding of a Cantonese Chinese School in
downtown Cleveland; With the leadership of Dr. LU, CAGC was heavily
involved in all these activities.
