He was born June 19, 1929, in Jiangsu Province, China, son of the late Chih-Ching and Hsiu-Chen Chang. On August 23, 1964, he married Janet Chia-Shiang Chang, who preceded him in death September 30, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was employed at Bucknell University in the Ellen Clarke Bertrand Library for 30 years until retirement. He was active in Chinese cultural activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chia-Ching enjoyed exercising, drawing, stamp collecting, and playing the Erhu (Chinese violin). He wanted to share his culture with the community and held a presentation at the local library. Chia-Ching was a member of the Kelly Township Planning Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was a good role model to his children, and taught them the importance of a good work ethic and to be respectful to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surviving is one son, Anthony Chang of Virginia; two daughters and sons-in-law, Grace and Victor Fuoti of New Jersey, and Lilian and John DeWald of Lewisburg; and three grandchildren, Matthew and Natalie DeWald, and Olivia Fuoti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
