RICHARD
J. (DICK) ULRICH
One
of the well-known and unusually active realtors in the San Gabriel Valley is
Mr. Richard J. (Dick) Ulrich, who deals in all types of real estate, and specializes
in the sale of income properties. A
great number of business transactions, involving some of the largest apartment
houses in the district, have been consummated in his offices at 233 South
Fremont Avenue in Alhambra.
Mr.
Ulrich is known as “Dick the Trader”, and has been successful since he came to
Alhambra from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, fourteen years ago making good on his
slogan:
“List Your
Property with Dick,
He’s the Boy Who
Sells It Quick.”
Mr.
Ulrich was born on April 27, 1911, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. His parents, Jerome S. Ulrich and Sophia
Stephens Ulrich, reside in Alhambra. He
attended schools in his hometown where he excelled in all major sports. For sixteen and a half years he was employed
by the Harrisburg Telegraph, and worked at the newspaper in a variety of
jobs. He was photographer, report and
sports editor, and in these years he learned much about this world and the
people in it.
During
this time Mr. Ulrich became interested in the real estate business, and acquired
extensive holdings in six different cities around Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. What had been an avocation
became a serious interest. When he moved
to California in November, 1947, he established himself in the real estate
business and opened his own offices at 233 South Fremont Avenue, where he is
still located.
Mr.
Ulrich was married to Catherine Jean Borzilleri,
formerly of Rochester, New York. The
wedding took place January 4, 1936, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and several
hundred guests attended. The Ulrich’s
have a married son and a daughter, of whom they are rightfully proud. Richard Ulrich, Jr., is
25 years old and Junior Insurance Executive.
Carol Jo Ulrich is 16 years old, and a student at Ramona Convent in
Alhambra. She is a very talented young
lady who excels in music. She has a
lovely singing voice and plays the piano beautifully. The Ulrich’s attend St. Thomas More Catholic
Church in Alhambra, and take a very active part in all church affairs.
Mr.
Ulrich is a member of the National Association of Real Estate Boards,
California Real Estate Association and Alhambra District Realty Board. Mr. Ulrich is a director of a number of corporations
in which he has financial interests. One
of the most prominent of these is the Republic Financial Corporation of
Colorado with Arizona subsidiaries, of which he is currently vice-president.
Mr.
Ulrich likes horse racing, baseball, football, and enjoys a day at the race
track, if time and business permit.
