Annette,
I have such wonderful memories of our days as "St. Joe Hillians" with your Dad as our coach.  I will never forget what your Dad taught me during our basketball practices at St. Joe Hall and games in the "old" gym at LCHS i.e. teamwork, discipline and the skills for a sport that I love to play to this day.  He has touched and influenced so many lives. May you and your family receive peace and comfort by the memories that you have of him and knowing how many others have wonderful memories of him as well. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeanne,Lyn,Bob,and your families,
It was so wonderful to see all of you at the CV Hall of Fame evening last month. Jim and I regret that Bob was unable to make it that evening; we would have really enjoyed spending time with him. Your family has given us such happy memories and Bob was a big part of those memories. Jeanne, I was glad that I was able to keep in contact with you and Bob through your haircut appointments. I always enjoyed our conversations and looked forward to the next time I would see you both. To Lyn and Bobbie, I know how hard it is to lose a father who you love so much. Focus on the good times with your dad. When you look at your children, see your father’s wonderful attributes in them and how much he taught you and your children about life; the wonderful memories will see you through this tough time. Bob was one of a kind; always thoughtful, upbeat, and a pleasure to have known. We will miss him. God bless all of you.

Dear Louise and family,
The wonderful memories you have of Tom’s life will help you thru this terrible period. I have fond memories of our child hood and the good times we had at St. Joseph and Lancaster Catholic and playing at Rodney park.  Take care and call if I can be of any help.

I’ve got so many great memories of the Camp Counselor from Fairview Avenue and the house in Manheim Township. He welcomed me into his home and treated me like a member of the family, which meant I was well-fed and fair game when I stepped out of line.

I’m sorry I can’t be there in person to pay my respects. I’m sure the Huckles will be well represented without me. Please know that I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Paula, Rick, Tom and family
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. Just wanted you to know you’re in our thoughts and although there really are no words, may your memories bring you comfort and peace. My mom was also saddened by this news as "Tommy" was her "first boyfriend" from her days on Manor Street, she has fond memories of hanging out with a crew of kids including your Dad.
Take care,
Krista and Bill Chalfant

I got to know Tom at an early age, having gone to St. Joe and Catholic High with his brother Bob. In recent years I looked forward to talking with Tom at the Catholic girls basketball games.  He was always a joy to talk to and I’m sure everyone is going to miss him greatly.
May God bless all of you!

Today I found out about the "passing" of Coach Souders.  The memories came flooding back!!  St. Joe’s School…group of girls….laughing, cheering while playing basketball.(Oh and the underhand free throws for us who weren’t strong enough)

It is not often that someone comes into your life and has such a huge impact that you are not even aware of until many years later.  Your husband/dad had such an impact on me.  Today I coach girls varsity basketball in Northern California and there isn’t a practice that doesn’t go by that his name is not mentioned and his many "quotes" not shared.

To you, Mr. Souders, who have left many of us stronger people with a desire to make the world just that much better, will be remembered in my heart and prayers.
