He was born November 29, 1933 in Berkshire, VT, son of the late Arthur J. Larivee of Sutton, Quebec and Bess (Crickx) Larivee. He was one of nine children. Arthur was a man who truly loved nature and was part of nature while being a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. As a great outdoorsman, who spent much of his life in the wilderness, fishing the streams, hunting and trapping the mountains and farming the land.

In 1953, at the age of 18, he enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict.

Some of his many duties included moving ammo, artillery and missile supplies support for troops abroad. He was honorably discharged in 1955. In 1955 he returned to Vermont and met the love of his life, Theresa. They soon married November 7, 1959 and had six wonderful children.
