Samuel G. Weisberg

To the Weisbberg family. Sorry to hear of your fathers passing. He was an icon in the Merrimack Valley in covering sports for the Lowell Sun Newspaper. I got to know your dad through my dad when he coached with Coach Murphy and wrestling Coach Rudolph at Dracut High School. Also as a student athlete at DHS remember your dad on the sidelines taken notes of the games. A great writer and a legend in the sports news rest in peace. Tim Kulis DHS 79

I never met Sam personally but I'll never forget him. I was a young football player at Lowell High in 1966 who went off to Michigan State upon graduation. My stay was short and I returned home to the expressed disappointment of some people. I felt embarrassed and defeated until my mother showed me an article in the Lowell Sun written by Sam Weisburg about me.

Mr. Samuel G Weisberg, The end of an Era ...Every kid growing up on the playgrounds in the City of Lowell knew Sam Weisberg. He was a quiet, unassuming gentleman who could capture every contest perfectly with his typewriter. If he showed up in person you knew you were playing in a very big game. He made being involved in sports so important for both the young ballplayers and the spectators. The entire community was closer and drawn together by his columns each week. Thank you Mr....
