William A. Effler

My mom, my sister and my wife all have diamonds purchased from Mr Effler. He was a kind man and always made you feel like you and your purchase were the most important things in the store. He was a true gentleman. My wife and I send our condolences to all his family members.

I grew up in Mt. Healthy and went to Assumption with Bob Effler. The whole family stood out in my mind. They were wonderful people. I walked a lot in those days as my mother didn't drive and it was always nice to see Mr. Effler at his jewelry store. He was a hard working man and actually sold me my husband's wedding band. I can remember him by this. My Dad was blessed to have such a great friend.

I am proud to say that I am employed by Wm. Effler Jewelers. Mr. Effler was a man so loved by all who knew him. An interesting gentleman who touched so many lives. He is so fondly remembered by people for the uniquely special jewelry he lovingly made for them. Those memories will last for generations. What a treasure! With deepest sympathy , Ann Eisert

It was Bob Effler who first introduced me to his parents, when Mr.and Mrs.Effler came to visit their son at the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica. Mr.Effler was always interested to learn more about the latest developments in gemology. As regular visitors to the gem and mineral shows in Tucson,I fondly remember our lively discussions regarding new trends in the industry and this fine sparkle in his eyes always indicated that he had made a truly beautiful discovery.

We only knew Mr. Effler through his son Tim, who spoke so highly and lovingly of his wonderful father. What a remarkable full life he led. We should all be so fortunate. Patrice and I are so sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to you Dorothy about your beloved Bill's death. I have fond memories of him at the Mt. Healthy store and at Rookwood always smiling and so gracious and knowledgeable. I shall keep you and your family in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Effler's passing. He was a very kind man and I enjoyed working for him and his family many years ago.

Pete,
Ruth and I were very sad to hear of your fathers passing. When Luke has spoken of him, you get a strong feeling of his affection for his grandfather and what an influence he had on your family.
We are sorry for your loss.
Regards,
Dave and Ruth

Fond memories of a wonderful employer, respected Gemologist and gentlemen with whom I worked for 15 years.
