Obituary

On Sunday May 31st we lost our “Living Legend” William E. Christoffersen a World War II Veteran. He passed at the age of 93 due to Covid-19 in the William E. Christoffersen Veterans Home. This VA facility was named in Bill’s honor due to his fortitude and efforts in making it a place for Veterans to receive medical care and assistance… His entire life was spent serving our country and its veterans be it Military or civilian. He worked his way up to become a Senior Executive and National Executive Committeeman within the American Legion for 50+ years and was an active member for his entire life.

“Patriotic and humble is almost an understatement to describe Bill. What a wonderful man he was and Im sure my dad was there to greet him and to catch up on old times. “
