  Mr. TED LIEU of California. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 
life of Mr. Denny Chen, a beloved member of California's 33rd 
Congressional District, who passed away at the age of 81 on November 
15, 2019 in Torrance, California. Denny's dental practice has served 
South Bay residents for more than 30 years.
  Born on November 24, 1937 in Taiwan's Sanxia District, Denny 
graduated from Keelung High School and attended Taiwan's National 
Defense Medical University. Denny then served as a naval officer in the 
Republic of China Navy for 10 years before starting a private dental 
practice in 1969 in Taipei, Taiwan.
  Denny moved his family to the United States in 1978, where he 
enrolled at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. 
He received his degree and opened his dental practice in Torrance in 
1981, where he served the South Bay community for 33 years until his 
retirement in 2014. Denny's family moved to Rancho Palos Verdes in 
1989.
  Whether playing golf, ballroom dancing, or singing, Denny enjoyed the 
wonderful life he led and the people with whom he spent it. Denny is 
survived by his wife, Salina; stepson, Ben, and his wife, May; son, 
Peter, and his wife, Cindy; and three grandchildren: Kirk, Mark, and 
Priscilla. May his memory be a blessing to all the patients he cared 
for over the years and lives he touched in the community.
