John Arthur Dively Sr.

A Community Man, a Man of Honor, a Man of his word, a Man that shared Love with all.

To the Dively family,
I am very sad to hear the news about Mr. Dively. Your family will always be a big part of my childhood memories. We had great times with all of you and with your Dad. He always had a smile on his face and something nice to say to everyone. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,

Hello Joyce....when I think of John, I remember the birthday cake some of his school friends had me prepare for him with the "weight" imbedded in a ":sheet size " piece of rubber. When approached, I told him I knew who "baked and decorated" it...but wouldn't tell him I was responsible! I don't know to this day if he ever found out.....Joyce, John was a "wonderful person"...and so are you. I so remember your parents. also. Lots of wonderfull memories of all of you. Martha L. McMahon, Sun...

It was because of John, we became educators for over forty years.

I am sorry about the loss of your husband and father. I am sure your family and your memories will carry you through.

May the God of all comfort be with your family. May all the loving memories stay close to your heart. Psalms 46:1

Joyce and Family,
I was so sad to learn of John's passing. My 11 years of teaching at Charleston Junior HIgh were the best of my career because of him. His influence followed me to Minnesota. I will miss him.
