Mr. Don Souder was
a Man of the finest values. His selfless, dedication to
teaching others how to save lives was unlike any other. When
I first became an instructor for the Atlantic County
Corrections Academy Don was my Instructor/trainer. Don was a
wealth of knowledge, and held more certifications than one
could imagine. Don was a man we could all learn from , even
on days when he may not have been feeling up to par, he gave
100% of himself to others without even a mere hint of his
own discomfort. I will miss Don deeply and I know that I am
not alone with these thoughts. GOD BLESS YOU AND REST IN
PEACE.
Your Friend
