PALOS HILLS, IL — Services for Art Worley, the long-time chaplain for the Windy City Thunderbolts, are set for Thursday, Jan. 27. Worley died over the weekend.

Visitation will take place from 3 to 5 p.m., with a Celebration of Life Service from 6 to 7 p.m., at First Baptist Church in Palos Hills, 11015 S. Eastwood Drive.

Worley was the team chaplain for more than 15 years, presiding over our Sunday services at Ozinga Field in Crestwood. He retired this past season and was at his granddaughter’s side when she threw out the first pitch at the final game of the 2021 season.
