Sumner Alden Bartlett, born Dec. 16, 1922, died peacefully in his sleep July 2, 2014.
He was 91-year-old resident of Daly City. Born at Mills Hospital in San Mateo, the UC Berkeley graduate grew up in San Francisco. He served his country during World War II in the Solomon Islands and is the recipient of the Purple Heart. He married Barbara Williams, the love of his life, at Old St. Mary's Church in San Francisco. They were married 65 years.
A huge reader and history buff, a fan of the Marx Brothers and the Road Runner cartoon, Sumner spent his career in San Francisco in the insurance industry. He is a descendent of Josiah Bartlett, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence.
He had a very funny sense of humor and a knack for cornball jokes.
He is survived by his wife Barbara and their four children — Kathleen Bartlett (Peter Shypertt), Robert Bartlett (Jeanne Bartlett), Marion Bartlett and Jean Bartlett (the late Mike Sealey), and three grandchildren — Natalie Bartlett, Nick Bartlett and Katie Sealey. He will be laid to rest at St. John's Cemetery in San Mateo.
