Rodolfo was born on December 8, 1932 to Valentina and Sebastian Adriano in Baclaran, Philippines. He married Flotilde Cruz Adriano (passed away on February 17, 2012) on March 3, 1963 in the Philippines. In 1960 he joined the United States Navy and had a long and very successful career serving and protecting our country. He retired from the United States Navy in 1988 as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. This was a tremendous accomplishment for him having served for 28 years.
Rodolfo and Flotilde had five children together - Christina, Walter, Richard, Susan, and Edward. Both Rodolfo and Flotilde enjoyed raising their children into responsible adults and loving parents to their twelve grandchildren. Rodolfo loved to spoil his children and grandchildren. Rodolfo always made it a point to be present and to always be a part of the lives of his grandchildren - enjoying and celebrating their birthdays, graduations, and other life accomplishments. “Poppa” was always there for them.
Rodolfo had a love for life and strived to live his best life. He was a strong father and leader for his family. Rodolfo was known for his tireless work ethic and the constant self-sacrifices that he would personally make to ensure that his family had all the opportunities available to them to grow and succeed in life.
We will miss you Poppa. You will always be our pillar of strength. Your legacy is Life, Love, Compassion, and Generosity. We love you and will never forget you!
