Adolph B. Bernard (AKA, Dolpho) was born on October 21, 1937, in San Francisco, CA, to a Mexican-Spanish mother, Ramona, and French-Nicaraguan father, Bernardo Bernard. He graduated from Mission High School in San Francisco in 1958 and shortly moved in with late spouse Vicky Sue Fields, in San Francisco, San Bruno, and finally settled in Daly City.
At this time, his love for Vicky of 42 years, grew to a family of four wonderful children, Scott, Keith, Mark, and Kimberly. He was the patriarch of the family for more than six decades and created many happy memories with his fun-loving, quick-witted, humorous, and gregarious personality. During the mid-60s, he was employed at the Daly City Water Department for 17 years and then became owner and operator of a trucking/courier service and worked into his early seventies.
Meanwhile, Dolpho, was a loyal and avid sports fan (49er season ticket holder for three decades), car enthusiast/mechanic, golfer and bowler, and in his final years, tinkering around on his Rubicon, shopping at car junk yards and second-hand stores, enjoying buying products on Amazon, playing Solitaire and Sudoko on his Ipad, investing in the stock market, watching and debating politics, and thoroughly enjoying the company of his immediate children and grandchildren during our family get-togethers. He is survived by his four children, *fourteen grandchildren, and *seven great-granchildren.

*Grands: Katherine, Lance, Cameron, (late) Bernardo, Brittany, Austin, Anthony, Megan, Brandon, Tyler, Bradley, Brianna, Matthew, and Noah.

*Great-grands: Teya, Evelee "Ashe", Tali, Annabelle, Tatum, Mark, and Charles.
