Adolphus Andrews Jr. ’43

Dolph Andrews died peacefully Jan. 13, 2017, at his home in San Francisco.

He prepared at St. Albans in Washington, D.C., and at Cate School, where he was on the soccer and basketball teams and publications boards.

At Princeton, Dolph majored in the School of Public and International Affairs and graduated with honors. He was business manager of the Triangle Club and a member of Charter Club.

Upon graduation, his father, a Navy admiral, swore him into the Marine Corps. Dolph served in the Pacific as an intelligence and operations aide to Gen. Graves Erskine, commander of the 3rd Marine Division, with the rank of captain. He took part in the landing at Iwo Jima as a forward observer.

Dolph’s attendance at Harvard Business School was cut short by the death of his father, and he returned to Dallas to take over the family business. Later he moved to San Francisco, where he had a lengthy career with Pope & Talbot and was a longtime director of Pope Resources.

Dolph is survived by Emily Pope Andrews, his wife of 69 years; children Adolphus Andrews III, Edith Andrews Tobin, and Gordon Pope Andrews; and eight grandchildren.
