胡新貴博士畢業於國立臺灣師範大學，來美深造後，於俄亥俄州克里夫蘭取得碩士學位，在德州休士頓大學獲得博士學位。學成之後，他先任職於德州 Monsanto 公司，隨後遷居加州，在 Lockheed Martin 公司從事材料工程與科學研究工作，三十五多年，直到退休。

新貴博士學養深厚，為人謙和仁厚，在專業領域中卓然有成，深得同儕敬重。任職期間，多次榮獲 Superior Performance Awards 肯定，也因特殊貢獻與創新發明而獲表揚。此外，他還擔任 Science Review Committee 及 science fair 評審，提攜後進，培育人才。

在社區公益方面，新貴居士向來熱心投入，不落人後。他曾擔任中華民國國慶升旗典禮慶典委員，曾連續十年主持華運會排球比賽。也是北加州客家同鄉會與北加州師大校友會的重要成員。更以渾厚溫暖的歌聲，成為迦陵合唱團 、小雨點合唱團及師北客合唱團的重要一員。新貴居士平日沉穩低調，默默承擔責任，允文允武，動靜之間，都可看到他的定力與承擔。

在家庭中，他是慈愛的父親、體貼的伴侶、安穩的依靠。以溫和之德教養子女，以堅定之心守護家庭。他的關懷無聲卻深遠，他的愛沉穩而厚實。

在朋友與社群之間，他廣結善緣，修福修慧，真誠待人，樂於助人。無論順境逆境，總以平和之心面對人生，以寬厚之懷包容他人。

今天，我們以追思代替悲傷，以感恩化解不捨。感謝新貴居士一生為家人、朋友與社會所留下的美好典範。雖已超生淨土，往生極樂，他的善行與智慧，將長存於我們心中，化作溫暖的光，繼續照亮我們前行的道路。

願新貴居士蓮品增上，乘願再來。

“When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.”

Today, we gather to honor, remember, and celebrate the life of Dr. Sidney Hu — a life marked by purpose, dedication, and quiet strength.

Dr. Hu began his academic journey at National Taiwan Normal University before coming to the United States to pursue graduate studies. He earned his master’s degree in Cleveland, Ohio, and later completed his Ph.D. at the University of Houston. He began his professional career in Texas and eventually settled in California, where he devoted more than thirty-five years to materials engineering and scientific research at Lockheed Martin till his retirement.  During his career, he received multiple Superior Performance Awards and was recognized for special contributions and innovative inventions. He also served on Science Review Committees and as a science fair judge, mentoring younger generations and nurturing future talent. 

In community service, Mr. Hu Hsin-Kuei was always wholeheartedly involved. He served as a committee member for the Republic of China National Day Flag-Raising Ceremony and hosted the Taiwanese & Chinese American Athletic Tournament volleyball competition for ten consecutive years. He was a dedicated and valued member of both the Northern California Hakka Association and the Northern California NTNU Alumni Association. Blessed with a rich and warm voice, he was also an important member of the Kalavinka Choir, the Little Raindrops Choir, and the NTNU–Hakka (SPARC) Choir. Though humble and soft-spoken, he carried every responsibility with quiet strength and grace. Whether in work, service, music, or sports, he lived with discipline, dedication, and heart.

Most importantly, he was a loving father, a devoted husband, and a steady pillar for his family. He guided his children with wisdom and led by example. His care was gentle but far-reaching; his love constant, deep, and unwavering.

Today, we choose gratitude over sorrow. We give thanks for the life he lived and the example he set. Though he has left for the pure land, the goodness he cultivated and the wisdom he shared remain with us .

May we carry his memory forward in the way we live, love, and serve others.
