James "Jim" Hsu

James (Jim) was born in Bangkok, Thailand to Anna S. Hsu and Abraham Y. Hsu on May 3, 1962. Soon after, he immigrated to the United States where he lived in Troy, New York. Jim grew up in Park Forest, IL where his mother taught nursing at Kankakee Community College and his father was a pastor at Faith United Protestant Church. He attended Rich East High School where he did well nationally in debate and where he developed a life-long love of music. Jim went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree from Indiana University, a Master’s degree from University of Texas (Austin), a Master’s Degree from University of Pittsburgh and a Ph.D. in English Literature from The Ohio State University. Jim went on to become a much beloved instructor at The Ohio State University until he was too ill to continue. Throughout his life, Jim formed deep connections with those he befriended. He is remembered for his sensitivity, intelligence and his compassion for others. His fierce courage in the face of great obstacles earned the respect and sympathy of those who knew him well. Jim is survived by his mother (Anna of Cedarburg WI), and two brothers (Ken and Dave).
