    He is the son of Judy Ann (Story) and George Y. Tsui.

    This grave of a Judy Ann Story has a picture of Sam’s mother on it (or if not, of someone who looks exactly like her):

    But nothing else with it seems to add up. Most importantly, I’m pretty sure Sam’s mother is still alive. Just wanted to link it, since it’s strange that the picture’s could be mixed up like that.

    Anyway, given his mother’s maiden name I’d guess she has Irish ancestry.
