The Old Courthouse family has been devastated with the passing of our friend, Phil Wolter. Phil has conducted one of his haunted houses, The Olde Courthouse Catacombs with us for many decades. We always knew Phil to have a big smile on his face and a great passion for what he did.

We will have our tower lights purple and green this week in his honor. He will be missed by many! 💜💚

View Philip T. Wolter's obituary, contribute to their memorial, see their funeral service details, and more.
