Lt. Jan Tchoryk
Esteemed Brothers and Sisters,
It is with great sorrow that we must inform you of the Line of Duty Death of Jan Tchoryk, a fellow member of Local 2, TL10. Jan passed away while performing his duties earlier today. He was 55 years old and joined the Chicago Fire Department on March 4, 1997. The entire Executive Board and I extend our deepest sympathies to Lieutenant Jan Tchoryk's family and the fire department family during this difficult time. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
We also request that you remember in your prayers the firefighters who were injured in the past two days.
