DEATH NOTICES
SCHNALL Rona Schnall, December 28, 2020 in Austin,
TX. Rona was born on December 26, 1962 in
Philadelphia and grew up in Cheltenham, PA.

She graduated from the Medill School of
Journalism at Northwestern University. Rona
was an accomplished journalist at a young
age whose career was cut short when, be-
cause of a drunk driver, she suffered severe,
life-altering injuries. Rona’s tremendous de-
sire, strength and fortitude motivated her.

She moved to Texas, took advantage of the
Austin scene, continued to write, and cheer
on the Flyers and Phillies, living life to the
fullest. Rona taught us that no matter how
hard life can be, there is light. She was that
light and now she lives on in all of us who
loved her. She is survived by her mother
Maxine Schnall Mitnick; her father Nathan
Schnall; and her sister Ilene Schnall. In lieu of
flowers, please consider a donation to AD-
APT, to advocate for the rights of the differ-
ently abled; to the Jewish Federation of
Greater Philadelphia; or to the charity of your
choice. JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS

SHAPIRO SHUWALL
Martin Oscar Shuwall 87, formerly of Wel-
lington, FL, died Sunday January 10, 2021 in
New Jersey after a long struggle with demen-
tia. Born June 8, 1933 in Philadelphia to Ida
(nee Redmond) and Mitchell Shuwall, Marty
grew up in West Philadelphia. He recalled
great times as a young child growing up
across the street from Cobbs Creek Park,
sledding, exploring the woods, and horse-
back riding. He also spoke happily of playing
tennis, as well as “box ball”, “step ball” and
“stick ball” by the steps in front of their
house. After losing his father at an early age,
young Marty worked in a variety of jobs to
help the family. Paper delivery, door to door
magazine salesman, shoveling snow, soda
fountain jerk, factory worker, movie
usher/barker, and Good Humor Ice cream
man – Marty was never afraid of hard work.

In 1952, at the age of 19, Marty met the love
of his life, Glenda (nee Bress) and within the
year they would marry. The Korean war was
going on and, in 1953, Marty enlisted in the
Air Force. In his memoirs, Marty fondly re-
called many adventures he and Glenda
shared while they lived in Fairbanks during
his years of military service. Honorably dis-
charged in 1957, Marty returned to Virginia
where he and his brother David acquired and
ran George Friend’s bookstore, which was
famous for its new and used books and
unique selection of magazines. In 1961,
Marty and his brother purchased one of the
first Budget Rent A Car franchises in the
country and Marty moved to Philadelphia to
launch this new endeavor. Later joined by his
brother David, they ran and grew the com-
pany for the next 20 years. In 1967, Marty
and Glenda moved to Lafayette Hill, Pa. Over
the next many years, they raised three chil-
dren and also spent many hours enjoying
good times with neighbors. Marty especially
enjoyed his weekly chess matches at the
house as well as playing tennis and walking
in the Wissahickon Park. Marty “retired” in
1982 to embark on a life of boating, fishing,
travel and adventure with Glenda which they
greatly enjoyed for the next 13 years. Sadly,
Glenda passed in 1995. Several years after
his loss, Marty was fortunate to find a second
partner – enjoying over 10 rejuvenating years
of travel, honing his photography skills, fine
dining, great cooking and laughter with
Thelma Weinberg of Wellington, Florida and
Montauk, NY. Marty is survived by his three
children Mitchell (Tina Walch), Julie Sinatra
(Tom) and Pamela Steinberg (Phil), 8 grand-
children and one great grandchild. A
graveside memorial service at Haym Sa-
lomon Memorial Park, Frazer, Pa, will be an-
nounced at a later date. At the family’s re-
quest, donations in Martin Shuwall’s name
may be made to The American Brain Founda-
tion or Friends of the Wissahickon.

www.levinefuneral.com David Shapiro passed in the evening of
Sunday December 13, 2020 in Fairfax CA at
the age of 83. He went peacefully, with grace,
in his home. He is survived by his longtime
companions and step family of 50 years; Bar-
bara Engerth, Edward Engerth, Eric Engert
and brother Raymond Shapiro and his wife
Judie. David was born in 1937 in Phil-
adelphia to Alexander and Sadie Shapiro and
grew up attending Overbrook High school.

David was a starting forward on one of the
best high school basketball teams of all time
which, in the 1950’s, featured Wilt Chamber-
lin and Vince Miller and faced other promin-
ent players of that era. After high school Dav-
id engaged in dental product sales. Then, in
Bucks County PA. he worked for Ronald Katz
in building material sales. David went on to
be a successful business owner in the Kens-
ington, Delaware Avenue waterfront area of
Philadelphia as well as South Philadelphia on
Oregon Avenue and Front Street. At those
locations he joined forces with Ronald Kaleck
and then opened his own stores under the
“Builders Salvage” name. He closed out a
successful business career in the Phil-
adelphia area as the owner of “Big Dave’s
Building Materials”. The bustling stores had
customers parked deep into Delaware aven-
ue. His father Al, came out of retirement to
be a force in customer sales. His nephews
Joel and Todd Shapiro and relation Eric En-
gert spent multiple summers in their first
jobs, gaining an education from David in the
subtle nuances of negotiating business deals
that they still put in practice in their profes-
sional careers today. Big Dave was a talented
negotiator and salesman and was a physical
presence in those stores carrying more
sheets of plywood and sheetrock in one go
than anyone else in the warehouse could
manage. In 1992 he moved to California
north of San Francisco in Marin County, Fair-
fax California. He continued to work on ma-
jor accounts in the East Coast for many years
traveling between CA, PA and NJ. He also
manufactured doors and windows with
Bobby Horning in PA for 20 years and
worked as sales representative in San Fran-
cisco at “Goodman Lumber Company”. Dur-
ing his 30s he started a 50 year loving rela-
tionship with Barbara Engerth and became a
stepfather to Edward and Eric in the
1970s.He was always gracious and generous
with those who knew him, with acts of kind-
ness such as lending his GMC Jimmy SUV to
Eric and 2 friends to do a 3 month cross
country camping trip in 1981. From 1992
through 2020 he lived in Fairfax California
with Barbara primarily to be available as a
grandfather to Maxwell and Ela Rae Engert.

Barbara and Dave’s house was near the
schools and would be a welcome retreat a
few times a week for the grandkids and their
friends. He will remain one with the world in
Marin California where you can visit with him
at a location in the nearby environs to Mt
Tamalpais State Park. David was as gregari-
ous and generous a person as anyone would
ever meet and will be remembered fondly by
everyone who got to know him over the
years. DEATH NOTICES

VICTOR Saul Victor died after a life well lived but fell
victim to the ravages and complications of
Covid 19 on Tuesday, December 29, 2020.

Saul was truly loved by all who knew him
from his long time friends to the people he
would meet casually, from his peers to the
younger generation of guys and girls who
considered him to be the coolest, but most
especially he was a "brother" to his lifetime
pals. Saul was most precious and loved by
his family whether by blood or extension of
his blended family, new in-laws, nieces,
nephews, babies and girlfriends/boyfriends,
grandchildren. He was their hero, their ment-
or, their friend. There is a hole in our hearts
for this man, Saul, who is survived by his
wife, "the love of his life", Beverly (nee
Rubin), his children Howard (Melissa) Victor,
Wendy (Dean) Siegel, Ashley (Todd), Jason
(Sarah) Siegel, and David (Michele) Siegel.

Adored Pop Pop to Chad, Mara, Jennifer,
Adam, Joshua, Noah, Sydney, Taylor,
Stephanie, Joseph (Joey), Ryder and Bobby.

He was beloved by a huge family of nieces
and nephews, and great nieces and nephews
who considered him their father/patriarch al-
ways there to give support, love and generos-
ity. Saul was born October 22, 1938 to Rose
and Morris Victor in Wilmington, Delaware
and spent his younger years living in Atlantic
City, New Jersey with his siblings Jerry (de-
ceased), Adele and Mitchell before eventually
settling in Philadelphia, PA. In his teen years,
he and his brother were given a trumpet by
their Uncle Oscar which began their love of
music. He married his high school sweet-
heart Sybil and after years of working as a
paperhanger, entrepreneur, and owner of
Pearlstein's Furniture, he realized his dream
to become a singer and forming his own
band, and was he "a hit". Music was in his
blood and his signature was My Way (Frank
Sinatra) and Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond).

Saul lived a life of constant celebrations
whether it was family events (and there were
many), Saturday night dinners and a movie,
traveling extensively, but his real passion was
his love of golf and all he met on the course.

He will be truly missed and may his memory
be a blessing. Contributions in his memory
may be made to the Temple University
School of Music, Boyer College Annual Fund
(giving@temple.edu) or a charity of your
choice. GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S
