MICHAEL GRUBER

Dr. Gruber our family will never forget you. You gave my sister hope and years of life to see her son grow up to be a young man. when they gave her 12 months .You gave her 10 years May you Rest In Peace you will forever be in our hearts Family of Deborah LaVecchia

Dr. Gruber I only had about a year with my husband while you were treating him but you were the most gentle and kind doctor. I am so sorry to hear of your passing. May you be resting in God´s loving arms. You were an Angel on earth Dr. Gruber

On a whim, I just now looked up my old oncologist and was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Dr. Gruber's combination of knowledge and compassion is what helped me get through the horror of my tumor in 2004.

For years, going to see him twice yearly with my MRIs I would tremble while he looked at them, until he said the words "Looks good, Joe," followed by my incredible relief. Then he would give me some tests, including asking me to remember three things: It was ALWAYS "Bridge, taxi, and monkey." I even wrote "bridge, taxi, and monkey" on a 3 x5 card and pulled it out of my pocket when asked, always giving him a good laugh at how predictable he was!

I salute and thank you, Dr. Gruber, for giving me my life back when I thought it was over, some fifteen years ago. The world is a smaller place without you, and my sincerest condolences to your family.

Michael Gruber saved my life. I love him for being fearless in his research and patient advocacy. He went above and beyond the oath of Hippocrates. He held my hand and watched me relearn how to walk during my treatment for CNS Lymphoma , he had a swagger and confidence that belied his sharp wit. He demanded the best for and from his patients. I learned from Michael Gruber's steady demeanor and forthright language. No one was a better Neuro oncologist than Dr Gruber. He moved medicine forward with tenacity and insight like no other. Thank you Dr Gruber for being the leader that your legacy is evidenced by. I respect you. I love you like family for your diligence and ardent sensitivity to the world around you. I am not only a brain cancer survivor because of you, I am also a better person having known you. And I will never forget you for this generosity and scientific brilliance. Mission Remission. Sincerely yours,

Dr. Gruber was a wonderful person who always made my husband feel so confident that everything was going to be fine and it was. He was a fine human being who made coming to see him a positive experience We are so sad to hear of his passing.

Michael was a thoughtful man and a true gentleman. It was a great privilege to have spent time talking with him.

So sorry to hear of this. Mum (Dora) and I send our sincerest condolences to you and yours. Bless you all.

God bless Dr. Michael Gruber. We will be forever grateful for having him in our lives. He saved my brother Rodney's life and spent countless hours out of the goodness of his heart to see that Rodney had the best care possible in Moncton NB Canada. Michael never asked anything in return. He gave us at least 11 more years with Rodney. We always enjoyed speaking with Michael and Rodney really appreciated everything that the Gruber family did for him. Michael was a wonderful husband to my dear cousin Maura and wonderful father to Emily. God bless you Michael. We are praying for you and Maura and Emily. You were very aptly named after the Arch Angel Michael. God bless you all from Jimmy, Denise Julia, Daniel and Lauren.

I was blessed to have Dr. Gruber as my oncologist for almost 15 years. I looked forward to my appointments. He made a tough time in my life much easier
My condolences to his family!!!
He will be missed by many
May he rest in peace..

My sincere condolences to the Gruber Family. May you find comfort in knowing that the God of tender mercies cares for you and can give you the strength you need during this difficult time.

I am truly sad to hear of Dr. Gruber leaving us. He was a man who accompanied his patients, in their often futile battles, with empathy, tenacity, and good judgment. I lament those future patients who will not have his expertise and experience to support them in their fight. Rest In Peace, Dr.

We pray that Michael is resting peacefully. His was a life well lived and loved by many. Heartfelt sympathies from Kim, Mark and Viveca Riley.

God Bless you Mike. We met so many years ago and you taught me so much. What you have done during your life time has been truly amazing and helped so many people. Graet memories.
