Those who knew him as a high school teacher, faculty member at Western Illinois University, and friend recognized his desire always to provide his students with experiences necessary to enable them to compete successfully in their chosen professions. Herman was born Oct. 31, 1924, to Herman O. and Anna A. (Sizek) Griesenbrock in Muscatine. He was the last to join his sister, Bernice Ann, and brother, Milton H., in a respected hard-working family, all four of whom are at eternal rest. Franklin Grade School, Muscatine High School and Muscatine Community College all preceded military service in WWII. While in service, Herman served as a cadet in the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, until one day all programs were closed at the convenience of the government. All students were transferred to infantry assault divisions for foreign assignments. He was assigned to the 95th Infantry Division and entered combat in France and Germany where he received various awards, including the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Purple Heart Medal with an Oak Leaf Cluster for wounds received in combat, the Eastern, African, Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon with three Bronze Battle Stars, the Good Conduct Medal and the World War II Victory Medal. Many years later, the French government began awarding its highest military award to non-French soldiers. Herman was awarded the title of “Chevalier” in the French Legion of Honor. Following discharge from service, he married Margaret Frances Parsons, a high school sweetheart. They were blessed with one daughter, Lois Ann (Rooney). Both wife and daughter survive. The war interrupted his pursuit of education, but both Frances and Herman went to Iowa State Teachers College where they completed their respective courses to receive their bachelor’s degrees. After teaching in Iowa public high schools, Herman received a graduate assistantship at Colorado State College of Education where he received a master’s degree. In 1950, Herman joined the faculty at Western Illinois State Teachers College and in 1955 received his doctor of education degree from Bradley University. Professor Griesenbrock served as chairman of numerous university committees and as chairman of the graduate program in the Industrial Education Department from its establishment until his retirement. In addition, he was a member of a number of professional and service organizations. Because of his early military experiences, he became a life member of Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, the 95th Division Association, the Elks, the Salvation Army and the United Services Organization. He and his wife enjoyed both foreign and domestic travel. They spent time in many of the major countries of the world. He is survived by his beloved wife and daughter, Rooney Dively; two grandsons, Jon, Jr. (Lara) Dively of Macomb, and Timothy J. (Katie) Dively of Wausau, Wisconsin; four great-grandchildren, Brandon J. Dively and Bryce R. Dively of Wausau, and Tyler J. Dively and Anna L. Dively of Macomb. Cremation has been accorded with graveside services to be held at a later date on the family plot in Greenwood Cemetery, Muscatine. Memorials may be made to the organization of the donor’s choice.
