Talk:Sam Sniderman

Birth place
He was born in Toronto? Maybe I'm mistaking him for his father but from a documentary I watched about him many years ago, I thought he came over from Europe not speaking much english and with a different last name. When immigration officials asked him for a last name, he thought they were asking him about his profession. He answered "snider" (which was a shoemaker) and thus he became Sam Sniderman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.212.208.102 (talk) 11:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

You have a true story but the wrong person, that was his father coming to Montreal.

Someone could include the story with the family's original surname?

 * His obituary in The Star mentioned he was born in Toronto, and lived in Kensington Market, which at the time he was growing up, was a Jewish enclave. The article can be seen here Sam the Record Man founder Sam Sniderman dies at 92.--Abebenjoe (talk) 15:37, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

In a ship accident?
This newspaper article lists a "Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sniderman... of Toronto" as passengers who were aboard the cruise ship SS Shalom when it collided with a tanker in 1964. It seems likely to me that this is the same Sam Sniderman that this article is about, but I have no way to confirm it. Should this be added to the article or not? --174.95.161.129 (talk) 06:11, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
