Mexico Independent 1957
His life was devoted to the baking-craft and he was gifted with a unique ability to mix just the proper proportion of ingredients and to bake them to the oven brown perfection. His business rapidly grew as the public came to relish the fine food tastes of his product. The summer people at the Lake and resorts looked forward to the rare treats of his bake shop. Mexico folks will miss the attractive tasty cakes which he baked and decorated for birthdays and other
special attractions. There were many specialities all uniting to make Ray popular with his trade. Ray Greff was quiet and industrious. He rose, to bake for the day, hours before the outside street activity began to motivate itself. Even with his modern baking equipment his work still required much diligent labor. He gave unreservedly of his time and effort. His place can be filled only with much difficulty today — all bakers are specialists. There are few of the craft remaining who can bake bread, pastries and cookies. And so the second oldest Merchant in years of service rendered has passed on: "Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things now I will make thee ruler over many." Mr. Greff is survived by his wife, Ella Mahar Greff and numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Brown Saturday morning and from St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic church, Rev. James P. Slowey officiating. He was laid to rest in the Mexico Village Cemetery.
