In 2002, Robert was named one of 10 legends in the Mutual Fund Industry along with Charles Schwab, Peter Lynch of Fidelity and John Bogle of Vanguard. During and after his career in the financial sector, Robert developed a secondary career as an educator.

Arlene Rita (Shneider) Ehrlich of Dedham formerly of Boynton Beach, Florida and Framingham. Daughter of the late Esther and Irving Shneider. Sister of Lois Caparco. Wife of the late Jacob Daniel (Danny) Ehrlich. Loving mother of the late Michael Ehrlich and Karen and Steven Rubin of Wellesley, MA. Proud grandmother to Sam and Emily Rubin and Lauren. She was a self-proclaimed “chocoholic”, lover of all things purple and sparkly, and had the most special “smiling eyes”.
Arlene was raised in Cambridge and Dorchester. At just ten years old, she lost her mother, Esther leaving a painful void that stayed with her for her entire life. She was married to J. Daniel Ehrlich in May of 1953 and together they raised their family in Framingham for many years. They were both involved in the community. Danny was master of Perfection Lodge in Framingham in 1970. Arlene was his biggest supporter and always proud of his accomplishments with the Masonic Masons and as a Jeweler. They enjoyed and cherished their time traveling the world. Every trip would be a new journey with wonderful experiences to share. Paris was one of her favorites…. but specifically in the springtime!
Arlene worked several years at Framingham Savings Bank and ultimately became its Manager of Collections. It was there she earned the nickname, “Sherlock Ehrloch”. Arlene treasured and embraced her friends from Framingham. So much so that she and Danny decided to move with their lifelong friends to Florida to retire and continue to build beautiful memories. And that they did! -In Boynton Beach, Arlene was voted to the Board of Directors of her community and President of the New England Club. She looked forward to the Framingham Breakfast Club every month. Her calendar was always filled with activities and her family felt fortunate that she enjoyed her well-deserved retirement time. Wonderful new friendships were made in Florida along with fostering old friends. Her children and grandchildren cherished spending vacation time in Florida. Sneaking Orios at night was one of Sam and Emily’s favorite memories, but nothing got past “Sherlock Ehrloch” especially all the crumbs left behind!
Arlene ultimately moved back to Massachusetts to be with her family in 2021. She enjoyed reacquainting herself with New England, including the weather! Special time was spent getting “primped” with Karen and taking drives down memory lane (aka Route 9) … but only when Steven had a full tank of gas. There’s a Chico’s calling her name and we know there’s a good discount coming her way. Arlene’s legacy will live on, and our love and appreciation will never fade.
