Randolph Majewski

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of the force who was Randy J. Majewski, age 72, of Harborcreek, on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at home with his family. Randolph John Majewski was born on July 29, 1953, in Erie, Pennsylvania. He was preceded in death by his father, John "Rowboat," mother, Stella "Sallie," and an infant brother, John.

Randy worked at General Electric for 37 years in various capacities throughout the plant, retiring from locomotive test, a job he truly loved, in 2009. He believed whole-heartedly in the power of labor unions, choosing to devote a great portion of his tenure at GE serving his union, UE Local 506, in many positions including Departmental Steward, Divisional Chief Steward, Executive Board Member, Chief Plant Steward, Vice-President, as well as President. The members he was able to help and the impact he made through his work and dedication with 506 is immeasurable.

As Randy's daughters were growing up, he dedicated much of his time to being a youth soccer coach. Many summers were spent with them on EYSA soccer fields, as well as traveling with Harbor Creek soccer club teams. He had a positive influence on so many kids over the years, fondly calling him "Coach" even years later.

Randy had a great many interests, including sports, reading, history, cars, and music. He enjoyed sporting events and could recite statistics from baseball games from years past, enjoying watching the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants, rarely missing a broadcast. Stories were often told of attending Pittsburgh Penguins games before I-79 existed. The San Francisco 49ers and Washington Huskies were also of high interest, creating a few expletive-filled Saturdays and Sundays as the years went by, depending upon the outcome.

Reading and history went hand in hand for Randy. He had a strong connection with Greek history, specifically the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae and Alexander the Great. The Battle of Gettysburg was also of great significance to him. Visiting battlefields and monuments, including the WWII Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, was his way of honoring those souls. Although he never served, Randy had a great respect and admiration for those who did, anciently and contemporarily.

Cars and music also brought him a sense of joy. Randy enjoyed driving his red '87 Trans Am GTA, listening to Jimi Hendrix, Creedence, Steppenwolf, and many others.

Randy had a deep love for his family. He cared immensely for them, always making sure they knew how treasured they were. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Mary Lynn; and two daughters, Holly Majewski-Johnson and her husband, Edward Nicholas, Kelley Lydick and her husband, Michael; and his precious granddaughter, Claire Elizabeth Lydick, who has so many great memories of her "Gaga," including many special road trips to Kraynak's, Daffin's, and Walt Disney World. He is further survived by his sister, Joyce DeFazio and her husband, David; and many nieces and nephews. Dogs were also a big part of Randy's world, and it would be remiss to not mention his beloved dog, Vincent, as well as his four grand-dogs, Athena, Yoda, Patton, and Winston.

Friends may call at the Dusckas Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 2607 Buffalo Rd., on Friday, March 13th, from 4 pm until the time of a Memorial Service there at 7 pm conducted by Rev. James McCormick. Interment will be held at Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery on Saturday, March 14th, at 1:30 pm. Family and friends are welcome.
