JERROLD EHRLICH

EHRLICH--Jerrold I., New York, NY Jerry Ehrlich, a devoted husband, loving father, and esteemed attorney, peacefully passed away on April 22, 2024. A lifetime New Yorker, Jerry leaves behind his beloved wife, Vivian Fenster Ehrlich, six children, six grandchildren, his sister, Barbara Reich, an extended family and community that will miss him dearly, and a well organized life. Jerry had a long legal career, including as an Assistant District Attorney in Queens and later becoming a top notch health lawyer who mastered the pen underpinning new health care initiatives. Although Jerry was 90 years old, you would never believe it -- to the end he was busy taking classes, working out, traveling, talking politics, attending music concerts, avidly following his favorite sports, engaging with family and friends, and still a practicing lawyer. His warm smile, kind ketzelah heart, and gentle spirit touched the lives of those who knew him. Donations in his memory can be made to the Livingston Manor Library endowment fund https://livingstonmanor library.org/donate/, where Jerry was a much loved volunteer. Rest in peace, dear Jerry. Your unwavering love and empathy, generosity, integrity, and loyalty continue to inspire us. Funeral service Wednesday, 11:00am at "The Riverside" 76 Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
