Ifay was deeply committed to education, civic engagement, and community life. He proudly served for many years as a Trustee of the Somers Central School District, where he brought thoughtful analysis, intellectual rigor, and a strong belief in the value of public education. He also taught at the Northern Westchester Chinese School, sharing Chinese language, culture, history, and philosophy with younger generations. His interests and activities were centered around a belief in lifelong learning, social connection, and keeping the mind active at every stage of life. Memorial donations in honor of Ifay will be distributed by his family to educational institutions that he loved and contributed to, such as National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan and Somers High School.
