R.I.P. Pasqualina (Pat) Gruber E.F.D.

[efdcapt115 1,511]

Mrs. Gruber. Pat. The Matriarch of the Eastchester Fire District. If there was one person that I would say helped me the most during my career, it was this lovely lady. Ask any member of the EFD who worked during her tenure and I'll bet they'll tell you the same thing. No problem too small for her attention. Fair and equal treatment toward all employees. A woman who broke the glass ceiling in one fire department.

May she rest in eternal peace, with the enduring gratitude of this extremely grateful former employee. God Rest Pat.

Pasqualina I. (Pat) Gruber, 77, died on Nov. 5, 2011. Pat was a lifelong resident and dedicated employee of the Town of Eastchester.
