Adolphus Andrews, Jr., age 94, passed away peacefully in his home on January 13th. He was born in New York city on March 22, 1922 to Berenice Platter Andrews and Adolphus Andrews.
He attended St. Albans in Washington D.C. until his senior year when he attended Cate School. He graduated with honors from Princeton in 1943 and was commander of the Princeton regiment of the Field Artillery ROTC. He entered the Marine Corps at the ROTC review during graduation, with his father Vice Admiral Adolphus Andrews, USN, administering the oath of office.
During World War II, Dolph served as Intelligence and Operations aid to General Erskine, Commander 3rd Marine Division. He was in the 2nd beach landing on Iwo Jima and volunteered as a forward observer for the 12th Marines, which had sustained heavy losses among their forward observers and had no replacements.
Dolph met Emily Pope Taylor before his deployment and they were married after the war on June 28, 1947. Dolph's attendance at Harvard Business School was cut short by the death of his father, whereby he took over management of his family's business, Andrews- Dillingham Properties, remaining active in its management until his passing. He worked briefly at Waples-Platter, a family owned wholesale food company in Dallas, Texas before returning to California where he had a long career at Pope & Talbot, Inc. and was a long time director of Pope Resources.
Dolph was well known as a philanthropist who was active in many fine arts organizations. He was a director of the de Young Museum. He recognized the importance of preserving natural beauty as well and helped start the first fundraiser for the League to Save Lake Tahoe in 1969. Dolph was a member of the Pacific-Union Club, and a 65 year member and former president of the Burlingame Country Club. He was both an outstanding bridge player and a superb domino player. Dolph and his partner Bill Budge won the Burlingame Club Domino Tournament gleefully five times, most recently in 2016.
Dolph is survived by his wife of 69 years, Emily Taylor Andrews, his three children, Adolphus Andrews III, Edith Andrews Tobin, and Gordon Pope Andrews, and eight grandchildren, Elizabeth Haskell Andrews, Charles Moseley Dant, Joseph Oliver Tobin III, Taylor Andrews Tobin, Emily Berenice Andrews, Laura Mariana Andrews de Pedis, Margaret Fullam Andrews, Gordon Moseley Pope Andrews, and his sister Frances Andrews Dillingham.
