~* IN MEMORIAM DAVID SWENINGSEN *~

Long time FReeper "Bruinbirdman", aka bbm. David Keith Sweningsen, passed away on June 9, 2013, in Las Vegas. bbm was a veteran and a patriot, and a prolific poster on Free Republic. Please post your memories of Bruinbirdman on this thread. He was a long time donor to Free Republic, and I'm sure any donation, large or small in his name would be greatly appreciated.

May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Cincinna

from the obituary: Dave Sweningsen, 66, beloved son, brother and uncle, of Boulder City, passed away June 9, 2013, in Las Vegas. Dave was born Nov. 10, 1946, in Long Beach, Calif., to Charles and Jean Goddard Sweningsen. He graduated in 1964 from La Habra High School and was most proud to be a Bruin graduate of UCLA in 1969. Immediately following, Dave served honorably in the U.S. Army. Dave pitched throughout high school and also in the Senior Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa., September 1962. He was a staunch L.A. Dodgers and L.A. Lakers fan. He enjoyed fishing and boating, especially with his father. Dave was a loving caregiver to his mother and father for the last 12 years in Boulder City. Dave had a passion for politics and enjoyed talking with others about their views. He enjoyed the company of his many nieces and nephews, also his great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jean Sweningsen. He is survived by his father, Charles Sweningsen of Boulder City; a brother, Christian Sweningsen of New York; a sister, Jill (Joe) Hardy of Boulder City; and many nephews and nieces.

yitbos is a fraternity saying, and it’s supposed to be kept secret.

"yitbos is a fraternity saying, and it’s supposed to be kept secret."

That's what he said! I tried everything I could think of to make him give it up, but he stayed true to his fraternity. (sigh)

Thanks so much for refreshing my old memory. BBM didn’t tell me what *yitbos* means. I was thinking of someone else. Whatever that other person told me, I still can’t remember.

Age is challenging. ;o)

Fond memories from way back when we used to go round and round in the “Alley”! He was quite the character. Won’t be the same without him. RIP and YITBOS.
