Family Members:

Beloved husband of Eileen Ehrlich. Dear father of Maura Ehrlich, David Ehrlich and Matthew (Beth) Ehrlich. Loving grandfather of Alexandra Ehrlich. Devoted brother of Marlene (Al) Breish and Joe (Joy) Ehrlich. Also survived by many other loving nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.

He was passionate about his job and worked for over 40 years as an attorney representing workers' rights. For the last four years, he served as a workers' compensation magistrate and was recently reappointed by the Governor to serve another term. He made it his mission to ensure that justice was delivered in a fair and equitable manner.
He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed attending professional games as well as games played by his children and grandchild. Playing golf wasn't just a hobby, but a way of life for him.
He was also quite possibly the world's best shopper. His family will happily attest to that.
He loved spending time with his family and friends. He was always there for his family to solve problems and assist in times of need.
He lived life the way he wanted to and was authentic and true to himself. He positively impacted many lives and those that he met were better off for having known him. May his memory be a blessing.
