JOHNSBURG – Visitation will take place Tuesday for a Johnsburg construction worker killed last week in a Chicago accident.
James Thiel, 54, died Sept. 23 after falling from a building in the Wicker Park neighborhood. Thiel fell from the third story about 8 a.m. and was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital in Chicago, Chicago police said.
Visitation will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Colonial Funeral Home and Crematory, 591 Ridgeview Drive, McHenry, and continue from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Wednesday. The funeral will be held at 10:30 a.m. at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Johnsburg.
The family requests that, instead of flowers, memorial donations in Thiel’s name be directed to the National Psoriasis Foundation or the charity of one's choice.
