Throughout his lifetime, Dr. Tsu traveled around the country and the world to personally work on Asian American issues. He earned trust and good will from those he came in contact with and became a role model to the AAPI community.

"I was saddened to receive news of Dr. Tsu's passing," said Betty Wu, Chair of the President's Advisory Commission. "Dr. Tsu touched the lives of countless Asian Americans, helping each one to achieve success. It is an honor to follow him as Chair of the President＊s Advisory Commission."

Eddy Badrina, Executive Director of the White House Initiative said, "He was a tireless public servant who participated in the political and public arenas not for his own benefit, but for the common good of his fellow Asian Pacific Americans. He will truly be missed."

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
