He was born in Strasburg to George Joseph and Ida L. (Kaplan) Wolfson who had immigrated from Lithuania and married in New York City in 1916.
Sammy's father, Joe Wolfson, ran a clothing store located at 183 E. King Street in Strasburg for many years. In the rear, he operated a steam iron and dry cleaning shop while his family lived in the apartment upstairs.

Sammy lived in California for the rest of his life and is buried in Culver City near Los Angeles.
