Maysville has lost another one of its fine, upstanding citizens. Mr. Ed Greifenkamp passed away earlier this week and while family and friends
say their good-byes, we should all take a moment or two to reflect on Mr. Greifenkamp's life.
I was fortunate to have known Mr. Greifenkamp. He reminded me a lot of my late father, Pat McKay, Jr. Quiet, caring and committed.
Mr. Greifenkamp simply did what he was suppose to do. He was a devoted husband and father. He was a vital part of this community and served on numerous
boards and commissions, including more then 36 years on the Maysville Utility Commission.
I remember a phone conversation I had with Mr. Greifenkamp in the early part of 2003. I was in my first term as a city commissioner and after a brief conversation,
he offered this advice, "just do what's right and you'll never go wrong." That was Mr. Greifenkamp. Quiet, caring, committed.
My condolences to his children, Tim, Susan, Sally, John and Jane. May they find comfort in knowing their father was someone special not only to their own families
but to families throughout Maysville as well.


Sincerely,

Victor C. McKay

Mr. Griefenkamp was my father's employer for almost 30 years, but he was also his friend. He always sent my parents a Christmas card except for this past Christmas and they understood that he was unable to do so. My father, Sterling "Tuck" Porter passed away February 19, 2006 and even though "Eddie" was unable to attend the visitation, his family was represented and we appreciated that so much. My father, when speaking about him, sometimes called him Eddie and sometimes referred to him as "the boss", but both terms were spoken with both affection and respect. I'm sure there has never been a better advocate for Mason County and the surrounding counties. In fact, I recently read in our old files here at the Fleming County Public Library, where I am employed, that a donation was made by Cloverleaf Dairy to aid in the purchase of our Bookmobile in the early 1960's. I'm sure that Mr Griefenkamp was behind that donation, as he supported both education and libraries and he was such a community servant.
My sympathy and prayers are extended to his entire family.
