Falter Family, Dan, Sandy, Kelsey, Erin, Maggie and Hannah
Dearest Fr. Ivers, I just came upon this message board when I was thinking of you and your amazing influence on our family and everyone who knew you. From tugging on the ear of an altar server to passing through the Koenig center when our girls were having cheerleading practice, to your inimitable "Hail Christian Soldiers (thump!)", you were always filled with love and exuding joy! I ask our dear Lord Jesus Christ to continue his graces on the soul of this most faithful servant. And, Fr. Ivers, please smile down on all of my girls; prod their guardian angels to keep them on the path of Christ.

I am saddened to read that Father Ivers passed away - he passed on my birthday in fact! He was my counselor in Guam when I was 19 years old, and he made a big impact on my life in many "small" ways. We were pen pals for many many years afterwards. I hope he will stay close to me and to those who loved him in spirit, as he had a special warmth and a down-to-earth manner that the world needed, and still needs. God bless you Father Ivers.

Fr. Ivers was truly a gift from God to our family. Through his words and actions, we were shown the face of God's love. He inspired us to be the best Catholics we could be. He loved us through our failings, challenged us to learn more, love more, try harder! He was always such a "giver" of himself, to everyone he met. I hope he is enjoying some time with my mom, his "Apple Dumpling" where they can share their reward for lives well lived. We love you Father Vic!! Can't wait to be with you again when it is our time to transition to the other side.

We fondly remember Father Ivers visiting our religious education classes as teens at St. Joseph's Parish, and we both enjoyed getting to know him more as adults. He was such a warm, kindhearted man, and we will miss him. We were blessed to have know him; may he rest in peace.

Father Ivers was extremely supportive to our family. He performed Steve's first marriage ceremony to Amy Ekovich, as well as her funeral mass. She left this world way too prematurely, and Steve was left and blessed to raised their two children, Abigail and Drew, ages 3 1/2 and 6 months old respectively. I met Steve, Abigail, and Drew a year later and we married and became a family a few years after that. Father Ivers counseled and supported us during this transition. Thank you Father! 17 years later we are still going strong and thriving! God Bless You and May You Rest in Peace. Love, The Cummins Family

Our entire family felt sorrow at the new of Fr. Ivers death. He was a powerful influence through the formative years of our 5 children. Whether training the boys to be the best possible altar boy you could be, teaching them to fish, or organizing a stamp collecting club, Fr.ivers would always model love of God, kindness and fair play. He taught all of us about the importance of faith and keeping the Lord as a major part of our lives! He was definitely a bright light in the Chicago archdiocese during so many dark years! We were blessed to have this good, good man and exemplary priest as our friend! Fr. Ivers, your lessons will live on in all of us! May you rest in peace!
