Adolph Capurro ’53 passed away in San Rafael following an illness. He is survived by his wife of almost 56 years, Jeanne Sciutti Capurro, and children John (Sandi) Capurro ’85, David Capurro, Stephen (Rose) Capurro ’91. and five grandchildren – Trent, Alex, Sofia, Joseph Capurro and Daniel Sand. His daughter, Christina Capurro Sand (Duane) ’92, predeceased him in December 2015. Adolph took great pride in being a 4th generation San Franciscan, his great grandparents having arrived in the Bay Area during the Gold Rush. He attended St. Brigid’s Grammar School, Sacred Heart High School (now Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep), University of Santa Clara for his undergraduate degree, and Boalt Hall, UC Berkeley for his law degree. In the 1950’s he served in the US Army, and was stationed in Germany with the occupying forces. Through the years he’s been a backpacker in the Sierras with an interest in the John Muir Trail and did lots of camping with family. He was an avid stamp collector, a lover of fine music, early California Art and good Italian food! Throughout the last 50 plus years, he never once stopped rooting for the San Francisco 49ers. He practiced law in San Francisco beginning in 1958, most notably as a partner with the firm of Mullen & Filippi, a workmen’s compensation defense firm. In 1979, his family called him into service to manage the family business. He has enjoyed retirement during the last nine years and especially looked forward to cruising in different parts of the world, the latest trip in 2015 to Antarctica filled with the wonder of pure beauty. Since locating his office in North Beach in the late 1970’s, a highlight in his life has been the weekly gatherings with members of Il Cenacolo, a San Francisco Italian men’s cultural club, where he heard many and varied speakers, but mostly where he enjoyed wonderful friendships. Adolph and his family have been residents of Marin County since 1964. Family gatherings won’t be the same without him Papa, rest in peace.
