Tom Major suffered sudden cardiac arrest over the Labor Day weekend.
But thanks to the quick actions of his son-in-law, and Somers Point Police, Major was saved after the officers used a defibrillator to restart his heart.
And Monday, Special Officer Chris Haskins, Special Officer Jeffrey Mazer, Officer Rick Dill, and Major’s son-in-law Dr. Michael O’Hara, were honored by the Life Support Training Center of Shore Memorial Hospital.
And Tom Major was in great spirits and even joking about the life-saving experience.
“There’s an old Chinese saying that if you save somebody’s life then you’re responsible for it. So I interpret that to mean if I was speeding or missed a stop sign he can’t arrest me,” jokes Major.
