SOLOMON KIEF SEGALL, 93, for-
mer Detroiter of San Jose, Calif., died
Jan. 5, 2010.
Throughout his life, he spent many
a night and early morning playing,
coaching and watching ice hockey. He
was the son of Romanian and Polish
Jewish immigrants, Isadore Segall
and Lillian Kief. Mr. Segall grew up
during the Depression. He attended
Central High School in Detroit and
later enlisted in the U.S. Army, attain-
ing the rank of sergeant and serving
during World War II.
He married at age 23 in April 1940,
to Sylvia Stangel, of Brooklyn, N.Y.
An only child, he had moved to the
Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn with
his parents for his last year of high
school, when his dad got a job working
on-a New York City subway system.
Mr. Segall and his wife met at a
Chanukah party; and when she was
18 years old, they eloped. Her parents
didn't want them to marry because
she was so young. They would have
celebrated their 70th anniversary this
April.
They lived throughout the East
Coast during World War II, as he was
transferred to various military bases,
taking them to Chicago, Florida,
Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New
York. During that time, their first of
five children, and their only daughter,
Marcia, was born, followed by their
first of four sons, Mark.
After the war ended, while working
for a dry egg company in New York,
he helped ship guns illegally to Israel,
supplying pistols to the Jewish army
in its War of Independence.
Although he never attended college,
Mr. Segall was a smart, talented man
who worked in communications for
the Army. Most of his professional
career was spent as a co-owner at
Posture Mattress Co. in Detroit, a
franchise of Spring Air Mattress. His
passion, as anyone who knew him
could attest, was ice hockey. He grew
up playing the sport; and when he
was living in New York, played for a
semi-professional team.
He was the first of three generations
of Segall hockey players, as all four of
his sons and three of his grandsons
followed him into the sport.
The Segalls raised their five chil-
dren in Detroit, where he was also
active in the Michigan Amateur
Hockey Association, which named
him Man of the Year in 1971. He
served as president of the association
and owned a junior hockey team that
won the U.S. national championship.
He was also a proud member of the
Perfection Lodge No. 486, E & A. M.
In 1993, after years of shuttling
between homes in West Bloomfield
and Texas, the Segalls moved to San
Jose, Calif., to be near their son Mark
and his family.
Mr. Segall is survived by his wife,
Sylvia, of San Jose; sons and daugh-
ters-in-law, Dr. Mark and Nikki Segall
of Los Gatos; Calif.; Dr. Neil and
Laurie Segall of Denver, Colo.; Steve
and Sarah Segall of Olympia, Wash.;
Ron and Joan Segall of Farmington
Hills; 11 grandchildren; four great-
grandchildren.
He was the loving father of the late
Marcia.
A private funeral service was held
at Home of Peace Cemetery in San
Jose.
