Dennis You Obituary
05/05/1930 - 07/11/2024
Dennis Shuck You, age 94, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 11, 2024, following a seven year battle with Alzheimer's disease. Dennis lived a full life. Dennis was born in China and came through Angel Island at age 7. He grew up in Chinatown, graduated from Galileo High School, served in the US Army, and fought in the Korean War. He graduated from San Francisco State University with a BS in Mathematics, successfully owned and ran a small business, and travelled extensively once he retired.
His greatest joy was his family. Dennis was married to his life partner, Lila, for 67 years; Lila passed away earlier this year. He is survived by his daughter, Michele Armosino, son-in-law Jerry, and his beloved grandsons Taylor and Brandon.
Dennis truly enjoyed life and shared his joy freely with his family. Dennis and Lila practiced Tai Chi and Yoga together, enjoyed classical music, and appreciated nice meals. He cared for his grandsons when they were babies. He loved playing with them and taking them on outings; he was very proud when they each graduated from College. Dennis and Lila traveled the world together, visiting over 35 countries. Dennis and Lila shared their love of travel with their family by embarking on several multi-generational trips including Europe, Asia, and Dennis' favorite destination – Hawaii. He loved to cook and was known for his killer Martinis!
His generosity, kindness, great sense of humor and love of life will be remembered by all.
Services will be held on August 1, 2024 at 9am in the Tiffany Chapel at Cypress Lawn Cemetery, 1383 El Camino Real, Colma.

My first memory of my Uncle Dennis was when I was seven years old and he was balancing my cousin Michele with one hand high above his head and she was squealing with joy.
He brought a lot of joy where ever he was. He loved his family. His wife and daughter and son in law and especially his grandsons. He made us care packages when I went off to college from his butcher shop. Kept us fed through college. When I married and moved again, he made us packages again. I will remember him always for those care packages he put together so carefully filled with food and love. You will be missed Uncle but never forgotten. Rest in Peace. Marion, Lance, Zoe, Patrick and Quinn
