A member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, he attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison, graduating with a degree in accounting from the School of Commerce in 1937. He married Doris Wallmo on December 29, 1940 in Madison.
During an early job as an auditor with the Wisconsin Department of Taxation, Mr. Ullrich became familiar with north central Wisconsin and with Wausau. He and Ms. Ullrich decided to move here in 1942. Mr. Ullrich joined Clarence Wipfli in a certified public accounting practice and subsequently built the firm Wipfli Ullrich Bertelson CPAs into the largest independent accounting firm in Wisconsin and the 25th largest in the United States. He served as managing partner for 35 years, and from 1980 until his death, served as a consultant to the firm.
Mr. Ullrich's involvement in Wausau educational and community affairs was widespread. As a young businessman he joined with Walter Thom to raise money and establish Thom Field. He was involved with numerous fund-raising projects: the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, the YMCA, the Performing Arts Foundation, the Wausau Area Community Foundation, Junior Achievement, The Wausau Area Chamber of Commerce, the UW Business School and the Bascom Hill Society, Camp Manitowish, The Jacob Foundation, and the Wausau Rivers Edge Commission.
The awards Mr. Ullrich received during his lifetime included the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the UW School of Commerce, the Star Performer Award from the Performing Arts Foundation, the Junior Achievement Hall of Fame, and the Rotary Club named him a Paul Harris Fellow.
Mr. Ullrich, at 80 years old, died on January 16, 1996 at Wausau Hospital. He is buried in the Cemetery of the Pines in Boulder Junction, WI near the cottage he loved so much at Rainbo Lodge.
