I had not seen Sonny in at least 25 years since I've moved to California, but he would pop into my mind once in a while when I thought of my days at Riverside and at the county clerk's office.  We worked together there for about 5 years when we were young, restless and carefree.  Sonny hung around with my Cedar Grove buddies for a few years before he moved away to work for a state job.  He was funny, he was a talker and he was generous he always offered to give us rides in his room beer colored Cutlass Supreme.  I feel bad that we lost touch, may he rest in Peace  with the Lord.  Sincere condolences to his family.   Ray Imai

R.I.P I know none of us really showed how much we appreciated you for teaching us and and I know I didn’t show it but you were really one of my favorite teachers and I hope u are resting well with Jesus🕊️🫶

Condolences to the family. Sonny was always that older kid that lived down the street on Ben Swain. He was always a kind and gentle person to me. I am so glad I got to chat with you at your 50th reunion. Rest in peace, my friend.

Sonny, I will miss you running 🏃‍♀️ 😢 around all over the Riverside Middle School hallways. From heating up your lunch in the teachers' lounge to going to the restroom. I know you are resting with Jesus cause you were a good man, a good teacher.

I have fond memories of Sonny as a child when he would visit with his family, he was so cute, always smiling 😊. My mom and his mom had the best time together, his mom taught my mom how to make some really good Mexican dishes.  My deepest sympathy to Tara and all his family and friends.

My condolences go out to his family. He was my middle school teacher and he was an extraordinary man. I will forever remember him fondly. May he rest in peace 🤍🕊️

Mr. Efurd was my favorite Middle School Teacher! A very very kind and silly person with a great heart! We will surely miss him, my condolences to all his loved ones!! 💕

Tara,

Our condolences to you and your family on the passing of your Dad and our friend Sonny.  We both knew your dad from our days as teachers in Ysleta and our work together in the teacher's union.  We also saw him every day at Mass, on Sunday and different events with the Knights of Columbus.  He definitely had a sense of humor, very passionate about what he believed was right and always shared his adventures with the classes and students he substituted in.  His smile and hugs will be missed.  Prayers for the repose of his soul, that he is now enjoying time with your grandmother.  Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
