Willard Christoffer, 54, a paid-on-call probationary firefighter with the Western Springs FD, IL only six months, lost his life in a
training accident on Monday, May 14, 2001. Willard fell approximately 65 feet onto the turntable of the ladder truck he was ascending
during a training evolution. Paramedics rushed him to Loyola Medical Center, but he did not survive.
Our brother Willard left a wife, Lucy, and two small children. A Memorial Fund has been established for the Christoffer family.
