It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of
former WMRHS treasurer and past President John Gruber on August 12, 2009.
John had been suffering with heart problems for some time. Apparently, his
condition got much worse about the middle of July. For those who never met him,
he was treasurer and president of the Society at different times. John did a lot
for our organization and was largely instrumental in the Society's early
growth. In recent times, he has been a benefactor of the Society with a large
amount of donations which included many high ticket items. Honorary membership
status was conferred on him in the early 1990s. John and Ruth moved to Tucson in
1993. John will be missed by all who knew him. Our sincere condolences go out to
Mrs. Ruth Gruber and the entire Gruber family. |
