Guy & Elsie Ho

Picture
They've been "Uncle Guy" and "Auntie Elsie" to two generations of Quons, and really hold a special place in the hearts of family members. 

It wasn't merely their physical proximity in Los Angeles that made Uncle Guy and Auntie Elsie Lily's closest relatives and the Quon children's second parents - but more importantly their personal charisma and kindness.

In turn, the Quon children by being older were there for the Ho children to look up to and perhaps even idolize as they grew up just a few years ahead.



Guy was a graduate of Nanking University, and like their father, a dentist.  Elsie (Young) is originally from Hawaii.  Like Lily and Albert, they were another USC romance.  They had three children:   Steve, Diana and Tina.
