He was born Oct. 20, 1922, in Preston, Idaho, the son of Harley and Mabel Greaves who owned the Greaves Style Shop. He has one brother, Keith, who is 3 years older and is a retired physician in Salt Lake City. When he was young he had a pony named "Teddy," whom he loved dearly, and if his friends would take a swath around with the lawn mower (his job was to mow the lawn) he'd give them a ride on the pony. He started to play the oboe in 1934 and was in the Preston Band and Orchestra and placed first in district and regional contests in junior and senior high. His picture was on the front of the "School Musician" magazine (which he never let his friends and family forget) and he was awarded a scholarship, but his love was always medicine. Harley was president of his senior class in high school and because of his height he did not play sports but was the athletic water boy for the basketball team and to this day that is his favorite sport. He attended the University of Idaho at Moscow. He was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Delta and the Blue Knights as well as the school orchestra and president of the Junior Class. In his senior year he was sent to medical school early because the war was on and he spent four years at George Washington Medical School getting his medical degree and another year as a resident at George Washington Hospital. While a junior in medical school, he married Ralphine Stub, his childhood sweetheart and two years later they had a son, Ralph Creig. Harley took a two year general residency at Ventura County Hospital and then the family moved to Blackfoot, Idaho. After six months there, he joined the Air Force during the Korean War and became a flight surgeon and was stationed in Austin, Texas, and South Africa. In 1953, he and his wife and son moved to San Diego, California, and went into practice with Ralph L. Coleman in Ocean Beach. In 1956, they had another son, Terry Scott. He was a founding member of Doctors Hospital where he became chief of staff in 1963. He was the doctor for his son's little league teams and other ball teams. He also examined the Boy Scout troops, basketball teams, and Mormon missionaries in his ward. He was recognized for his service in the community in 1982. He was a caring physician never saying "no" to seeing any patient any time day or night. He made house calls on weekends and holidays. He loved his patients and they all loved him. Medicine was his life. He retired in 1991 as his eyes were getting bad and after that his health began to fail. He also dearly loved his family. Funeral services will be held at noon on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2000, at Webb Funeral Home, 109 E. Oneida, Preston. Family will receive friends from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the funeral home. Burial will be in the Preston Cemetery.
