Efrom attended school in Jasper County, South Carolina. He received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior and became a Christian by faith. He was a joyous man that walked fast and always had a big warm smile when he greeted you. He was a devoted father, grandfather, brother and wonderful friend who treasured his family. He called to check on everyone, if you didn’t hear from him rest a sure he asked about you.
After retiring from BNB Bindery for over 30 years, he took on another position as baby sitter to his grandchildren, this he really enjoyed. Efrom was a phenomenal grandfather who made sure his grandchildren were well taken care of and fed them grits with pork n beans also stewed beef with white rice, which were his favorite dishes.
