Tod Hunter Tucker Lewark, 70, of Flemington, WV, passed peacefully on Monday, August 8, 2022 at his residence. He was born on July 7, 1952 in Clarksburg.
Tod attended grade school in Nutter Fort, graduated from a Lehigh Valley high school in 1970 and earned his Bachelor of Science at West Virginia University. Tod was a horticulturist and recently retired from Freed’s Greenhouse. He also owned The Cellar, Home Brewing & Wine Making Supply shop in Nutter Fort since 2001. He was well known for his homebrewing since 1975 and was always willing to help new brewers with advice and problem-solving tips. He had brewed over 797 beers and numerous wines and ciders for which he kept detailed recipes over the years. He enjoyed photography, reading science fiction, repartee with his wife Denise, and raising plants, including hops for brewing, cider apples and chickens at their small organic farm.
Tod was predeceased by his parents, Edmond Dennis Tucker Jr. and Edith Irene Oldham Tucker Lewark. Tod is survived by his wife of seventeen years Denise Elayne Earley Binion, and two siblings: Edmond Dennis Tucker, III of Woodbine, MD and Emma Dee Cinner of West Chesterfield, MA. His sense of humor and gentle loving way of nurturing plants and animals will be sorely missed most especially by feline pals Speedy Parker and Devil Anse Catfield.
Per Tod’s wishes, he will be cremated.
