Obituary: Adolph George Stoll, Sr.
Adolph George Stoll, Sr., a resident of the Remington Retirement Residence in Hanford, California, passed away on November 13th, 2004 at the age of 97. Adolph was born in Los Angeles in 1907, the eldest of two children of Adolph Stoll and Laura Price Stoll. He graduated from public school, then worked in a bank in the Los Angeles area while attending the University of Southern California (USC). He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and a Master's degree in Psychology from USC, and completed graduate work in Psychology at the University of Chicago. He also held a standard certificate from the American Institute of Banking.
Adolph's career was in education and counseling. In his early working life, he was a camp director for the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). Adolph then took a teaching job at San Luis Obispo Community College, where he met his future wife, Janet Elizabeth, who was employed there as Dean of Women. They were married on June 19th, 1940 in Colusa, California, at her father's ranch. Adolph and Janet had three children, David William, Carolyn Elizabeth, and Adolph George, Jr.
After teaching in Redlands and at San Bernardino Community College, Adolph moved his family to the Bay Area where he took the position of membership secretary of the San Francisco YMCA. During World War II, he ran a vocational guidance and job placement clinic for returning war veterans for the San Francisco YMCA. While with that organization, he developed a program to help veterans who wanted to start their own businesses, for which he was written up twice in the Wall Street Journal. Adolph also taught night classes at the University of California at Berkeley, San Francisco State University, and Golden Gate University, but his principal employment was at San Francisco City College. During this period, he was elected president of the Northern California Council of Family Relations. One of Adolph's most popular classes was called "Speeding Your Reading," which aired regularly on KQED television. The series ran once a week for one hour in the evening for two consecutive years. After 25 years as an instructor and psychological counselor, Adolph retired from San Francisco City College. He was listed in Marquis Who's Who in the West for all his accomplishments.
Upon retirement, Adolph became active in SIRs (Sons in Retirement) and in the Marin County Orchid Society. He served as president of both groups. Adolph and his late wife Janet were avid orchid growers and at one time had over 1000 orchids, many of which won prizes and trophies. A resident of Mill Valley for over 50 years, in his later years Adolph enjoyed gardening, traveling, and reading mysteries.
Adolph is survived by his sister, Evelyn Zettler of Valencia, CA; sons, David of Lemoore, CA and George of Claremont, CA; six grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Services will be held at 1 p.m., December 8th, 2004, aboard the Neptune Society's Naiad, berthed at Pier 39, Gate J, on San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf waterfront
