James Fu-Li Lai of Arcadia, California, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 14, 2025. He was born in Taichung, Taiwan in 1952 and immigrated to the United States at the end of the 1990s.

He was the beloved husband of Annie for over 49 years, and devoted father to two sons, Dr. George Lai and LTC David Lai, U.S. Army, and a daughter, Sharry Lai. James was the ever-hardworking man with an intrepid and fearless spirit and an iron will and constitution.
