N.Y. He grew up in Flushing
Long Island, N.Y., and lived
most of his life in California in
San Pedro, Montebello and
Paso Robles. In 1960 he
moved to Montebello and
started the Auto & Truck Body
Specialty shop; later opened
Zimmer’s Truck Stop in the
city of Commerce; and in 1970
formed Standard Oil-Zimmer
Service Center in Whittier. He
also started a trucking com-
pany and opened a Freightliner
Truck dealership.
In 1962, 1966, 1970 and
1974 he was elected to the
Montebello City Council, serv-
ing a total of 16 years, includ-
ing the mayor’s job four times.
Prior to his election he served
on the city planning commis-
sion and two years as a city
police reservist. He also estab-
lished a sister-city link with
Iguala in the Mexican state of
Guerrero.
He was active in the Lions
Club, where he held almost
every office and was voted
“Lion of the Year.” He also
served as a charter member of
Montebello YMCA, Monte-
bello Explorer Post, member of
the Community Development
Committee, chairman of the
citizens drive to purchase a bus
for the Crippled Children’s
Society, and general chairman
of the committee which built
and established the Veterans
Memorial in the city park.
In 1967 he was appointed
by Gov. Reagan to the Board
of Directors of the 48th Agri-
cultural District for which he
served as vice president and
then as president. In 1973 he
received Montebello’s annual
All-Service Clubs’ “Citizen of
the Year” award, which he
cherished. He was also a mem-
ber of the Rio Hondo Shrine
Club and Triad Masonic
Lodge.
In 1978 he retired from his
businesses and moved to a 40-
acre ranch in Paso Robles,
where he became a gentleman
rancher. After several years of
ranching he became bored and
opened Henry’s Audio Video
store in Atascadero, and later
added another store in Paso
Robles.
In June 1991 he moved to
Cave Junction, and became a
member of Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church. In April
1996 he was asked to chair the
church building committee.
Many meetings and planning
sessions were held, and by
November there was a final
vote on the floor plan, and con-
struction began in July 1997.
It is a church truly built by
all its members, and in 1999,
when the church was dedi-
cated, complete with a beauti-
ful stained glass window made
by him, the mortgage was
burned during the ceremony.
He enjoyed traveling with
his wife, and together they
visited seven continents and
more than 100 countries. They
