DEATH NOTICES
BROWN Bernard A. Brown, the visionary behind Na-
tional Freight, Inc., one of the oldest trucking
companies in the United States and the pre-
decessor to the third-party logistics leader
NFI, died on January 14, at the age of 96, at
his home in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Mr.
Brown was formerly of Philadelphia and Vine-
land, NJ. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
into a family that fled Europe from religious
persecution, Mr. Brown embodied the Amer-
ican dream. At the age of nine, Bernie, as he
was affectionately known, and his family
moved to Vineland, New Jersey. He gradu-
ated from Vineland High School in 1942 and
went on to attend Temple University, but left
prior to graduating to help his father with his
business. At an early age, Mr. Brown was en-
amored with the trucking business that his
father started. Following the untimely death
of his father, at age twenty-six he had the vis-
ion and courage to take a small company op-
erating a few small dump trucks and turn it
into one of the most respected trucking com-
panies in the country. Mr. Brown embodied
all of the attributes of a self-made business-
man. He quickly figured out that business
was all about relationships. In the early part
of his career, he created contracts with the
government, hauling supplies and goods that
supported the military through World War II.
He formed partnerships with local glass man-
ufacturers in South Jersey which ultimately
led to contracts with the largest companies in
the United States. Mr. Brown was a trail-
blazer in the trucking industry and was at the
forefront of federal transportation regula-
tions in the 1980's. His work led to the ac-
ceptance of high-cube trailers and the expan-
sion from traditional 48 foot trailers to 53, 55
and eventually 57 foot trailers. In 1988, he
was honored as the Man of the Year by the
New Jersey Motor Truck Association. He
knew the importance of hard work and per-
severance as he led his company through
wars, recessions, natural disasters and de-
regulation. Most importantly, he knew that
his employees were his company's most im-
portant asset and he continued his relation-
ships with many of his colleagues and veter-
an drivers following his retirement. His vis-
ion and spirit led to what ultimately became
of the largest and most successful, family-
owned and operated, third-party logistics
companies in North America, NFI. Today, that
company employs more than 14,000 employ-
ees, operates over 250 locations in the United
States and Canada and serves the largest and
most sophisticated shippers in the world. To
this day, his sons' continue to own and oper-
ate the legacy freight business that was star-
ted in 1932. Mr. Brown's entrepreneurial
spirit did not start and end in the trucking
business. He was a real estate investor,
founder of two banks and an owner of a pro-
fessional hockey team. Mr. Brown saw the
natural extension of his transportation busi-
ness and invested in warehousing and real
estate. His real estate company, Vineland
Construction Company, of which he was the
Chairman of the Board until his death, is led
by his daughter Anne and continues to own
and operate commercial and retail properties
throughout the United States. He was the
Chairman of the Board Emeritus of NFI, Sun
Bancorp and Citizens United Bank. In 1960,
Mr. Brown was a founder of Citizens United

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.
