Sam Arthur Zimberoff's father was Julius Zimberoff and his mother was Anna (Nebulsky) Zimberoff.
Sam had diphtheria as a child that left him with only being able to whisper. That was a lifelong condition and was his "trademark." He had sister, Lela.
Sam A Zimberoff was married to Harriet L (Sicher) Zimberoff (1908 - 2006) on August 17, 1930. Harriet was his high school sweetheart. They had sons Serge and Stefan.
When Sam was 32, he is described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighed 135 pounds, had black hair and brown eyes, and a "dark" complexion. He wore glasses. He and wife Harriet were living in Chicago, Illinois, and he was working for Peter DeSitter Brothers.
Sam had many professions, including owning a pet store, a music store, and a furniture company. He also worked for the LA Times. After he retired, he wrote stories for the LA Times and for Jewish Affairs. See Sam A Zimberoff: Professions for a list of his accomplishments.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
