Grandpa, just thinking about you today. In my home office is the lamp that used to sit on your desk. A simple fluorescent light.

Frank and family, Many good memories of Frank. He was a fine man. He and Blondie (Virginia) and Henry were so much a part of my and my sisters and brothers life. I can still see him standing behind the window. We lived at 2014 Kingshighway, right next to the Cress's. Our prayers are with you at this time. Rick Dyer

A lovely tribute to a generous and blessed man. I remember my parents bringing us Rudy children, in the 1950s, into his pharmacy at the corner of Kingshighway and Forest Blvd. My dad, Charlie Rudy, spoke very highly of Frank Gruber. God bless your family during this difficult time.

Dear Frankie and family

Will never forget the time that Frank and Henry dressed as women and came to our house on Halloween night. Living on a farm we didn't have any trick or treat visitors. My parents were in bed and when we opened the door there stood two strange women who were pushing to get inside. Being scared we called for out parents to come down to...

Dear Frank and family:

I was so saddened to hear of the loss of your dad, Mr. Gruber to us. He was such a nice man who gave his customers and the community his best.

Hope your doing well.

God bless you all during this time and always.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I wonder how all of you are doing. Peace and sympathy to all of you. Sister Therese Anne Kiefer, ASC
