Weim, David Alden 04/17/1941 ~ 03/01/2015 SAN DIEGO -- Dave passed away unexpectedly at Kaiser Zion Hospital of heart problems on March 1st. He was a San Diego native and his parents, Clarence and Gladys Weim, were first generation Americans from Norway and Sweden. He was very proud of his Viking heritage. He graduated from Crawford High School, went into the Army for a brief stint that included Korea, and then returned to San Diego, graduating from San Diego State University with a degree in Accounting. He worked for Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies for over 30 years, and had his own income tax business that he just gave up a few years ago. The love of his life was his wife Dorothy Ann with whom he spent 27 wonderful years. One of their favorite activities was dancing, both square and folk. Dorothy Ann died in 2004. Dave is survived by his loving companion, Jenny McReynolds, a brother Donald, son Wayne Senter, daughters Gail Stockin and Judy Petersen, grandchildren Michael, and Christie, Kaylee, and Eric Petersen. Memorial services will be held on Sunday, March 8, at 12:30 PM at Mission Hills United Methodist Church, 4044 Lark St., San Diego, CA 92103, followed by a reception in the church parlor. Dave was a kind and loving man who never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was a quiet man whose presence is already greatly missed.

I remember I was a young boy in love. (I thought I was a man.) The girl I was smitten with was in L. A. She came to San Diego and stayed at Dave' home so we could be together.

I am the Reverend Edgar S. Welty, Jr. Dave's "Brother in Law". My father was also a Reverend. Dave, created a unique salutation for my mother, in order to be able to his mother-in-law. Plain "Mother" he reserved for his birth mother. My mom would have been happy to be called, "Betty". But David respected his elders. So he called her, "The Reverend Mother". I last saw Dave at my mother's remembrance service. I am the only son of my parents. But Dave became a true "Brother" to me. I remember the part of a Swedish folkdance, where two couples approach each other and rise their arms and cry out, "Skol!". It's a "Nordic Toast" of "Good Cheer". I raise my arm and cry out, "Skol!" for the memory of Dave.

To the family of and all the friends of David Alden Weim:

I am Chaplain (Captian) and Reverend Edgar S. Welty, Jr. of the 31st. Regiment of the United States Volunteers-America and the United Church of Christ. I am interested in including in a mass ceremony of Final Military Honors.

What is my relationship to David? I am the brother of his frist wife. I served as an usher at his and my sister's (Birdie) wedding. I was active in international folk dancing as was David. David as close to my mother,who he called, "The Reverend Mother".

David served in the United States Army in Korea, and I would love to get a copy of his DD 214 so that I could order a burial flag for the mass "Final Military Honors" i am planning.

I grew up with Dave and his brother Don at College Lutheran Church, and shared Dave's pride in our Norwegian ancestry. After losing track of him, it was strange to hear that Dave and I both are SDSU Accounting grads and we both prepared tax returns for decades. My condolences to his family.

I remember David and the rest of his family from College Lutheran Church. His father was Cubmaster of the Cub Scout Pack, and held regular meetings at their home in the Rolando area.

A few years ago Dave drove from his home in San Diego to Escondido to be an "angel" for me when I was learning to square dance. He was such a quiet, gentle man. My deepest condolences.
