Arnold B. Shafritz (Arn), 95, formerly of Merion, January 22, 2022, in Glendale, CA. A beloved considerate, bright, and inquisitive mensch, Arn was generous, thoughtful, silly, and serious. Arn graduated from Overbrook and Penn’s Moore School in 1949. An early computer geek, he worked on ENIAC, won a patent, and wrote papers. In 1957 he cofounded Auerbach Associates and evolved into HR Director.  After retirement, he audited courses at Penn. Arn, a rated chess “Expert”, played weekly at clubs, competed in 70+ official tournaments.  This “chess-nut” was so riveted, that once he had to be retrieved an hour after Thanksgiving dinner started! Arn loved sports. He taught his family tennis and softball and took them to the Phillies, Sixers, Globetrotters and annual Penn Relays. He walked daily, played volleyball weekly at Ardmore YMCA, and was an ardent Philly sports fan. Arn loved all music, especially folk and musicals.  A creative storyteller, at Camp Hofnung – where he and Hadassah (Das) met – he would brush a mop outside the bunk windows to enhance ghost stories. Arn and Das won a big Bulletin puzzle. He co-authored How To Win Tangled Names Contests. He loved cards, puzzles, math, word games, jokes, puns and riddles, and wrote many clever poems. A caring husband, father (and in-law), grandpop (and great-pop-pop), uncle, cousin, and friend, Arnold is together again with his wife Hadassah in Simi Valley, CA.
