“Please raise a glass with us this Friday at 7 p.m. during our ceremonial toast to Patrick Wolterman,” according to the post. The toast will be conducted at the brewery’s High Street location. “We proudly donate a portion of the proceeds to Companions On A Journey Grief Support.”
Wolterman was killed Dec. 28, 2014, when he fell to the basement while fighting a fire on Pater Avenue that had been set by conspiracy of the homeowner Lester Parker and his nephew whom he hired to light the blaze, William “Billy” Tucker.
Parker and his wife were on a trip to Las Vegas while the house burned, and he paid Tucker to travel from Kentucky to be the arsonist. Both men were found guilty of aggravated arson and murder after a lengthy trial in 2017. They were sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years.
Parker died in prison in 2020.
