Alexander Tseng Jr.

Dear Tseng family,
I was a classmate of Peter's at Menlo, and I met Dr. Tseng once, smiling with his family and his daughter's friends in Puerto Vallarta. I feel like since his death I've gotten to know him: he's inspired me to be a better person. I want to live a fuller life, enjoying every moment and helping everyone in my path. From the picture of his neck stacked with leis, I see that he lived life at its best, and touched the lives of many others. To see the parenting results of...

I love you dad!

As an oncology nurse at Good Samaritan Hospital, Dr. Tseng was always one of those that walked on our unit and brightened our day. I last saw him after his original treatment when he made a visit. He seemed genuinely happy to see everyone again and needless to say, we were so happy to see him looking well. This has been a great loss for all of us. My sincerest wishes go out to his family.

Dear Tseng Family,
I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Alex Tseng Jr. I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Tseng through his practice at South Bay Hematology. He treated my mother with her battle from cancer. Through the treatment cycles, my mother and I both had our emotional ups and downs. Going to the office was not always a welcome trip. But, Dr. Tseng was always very caring, compassionate, and kept our spirits up. He was a good man and I'm sure he was that way...

I knew Alex in Junior and Senior High school, mostly from band and jazz band. He was such a talented and solid trombone player and one of the rocks anchoring the entire band. Things don't change. Its clear he was such a rock to his family, his profession and community. --He was also a very funny guy. One memory: At a dance the jazz band played at our senior year, off stage there was a discarded frog costume that had been left from a chidlren's theatre play. I saw Alex looking at the...

Alex shared a bit of history with a group of us who were residents of the same freshman dorm at Stanford. I sent notice to as many as I could contact by e-mail, and received quite a few responses. If you wish, if someone can send an e-mail address to me, I will forward them.

I did not know Alex, Jr. but his mother Martha was in the class of l944 of Corvallis High School and I have very fond memories of her. She was a leader and her family had a wonderful Chinese restaurant where I remember happy times with Martha. I am so sorry she has to suffer the loss of this outstanding son. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. Marolyn Schumacher Welch Tarrant

Alex and I were part of that amazing group of people known as "Stanford-in-Austria XII," the Stanford undergraduates who lived, studied and explored Europe together, during the Spring and Summer of 1971, from a home base in downtown Vienna. I was gratified to read tributes to Alex for his musicianship. I don't recall whether he brought his trombone with him to Vienna, but he did mention having studied with Emory Remington, perhaps the most renowed teacher of that instrument during the last...

With great admiration and deep sadness.
