Unfortunately, shortly after the couple married, Mr. Major
was captured by the Germans in World War II and was sent to Germany, where he
was forced to work on a farm until the war ended in 1945.


The couple never reunited, and he moved to the United States
after the war, settling with a family from Pennsylvania who sponsored his
travel from Europe.


In 1950, he moved to Chicago, Ill., and worked in the
stockyards.


He wasto married Mary Iwaniec Nov. 10, 1951, in Chicago, Ill.
She died in 1969.


The couple moved to Stevens Point in 1952 and began farming
on the eastside of Stevens Point. The couple had a daughter, Margaret.


He then changed career paths and began working at Joerns
Furniture Company. He retired from there as an inspector.


He was married to Stella Seymour March 22, 1974. She died in
March 1990.


He became a naturalized United States citizen.


Survivors include one daughter, Margaret (Thomas) Kelley,
Elm Grove; four stepdaughters, Arlene (Leonard S.) Firkus, Stevens Point, Barb
Holub, California, Sally Winters, Wisconsin, and Donna (Jerome) Greenwald, Ill.;
one stepson, Chester (Patricia) Seymour, Illinois; one brother, Zdzislaw Major;
five grandchildren, two from Margaret and three from Danuta; and three stepgrandchildren;
and special friends, Emily Ramczyk and Jane and Jerry Kapla.


He was also preceded in death by three wives; one daughter,
Danuta; and three brothers, Zosia, Stephan and Marian.
