Nicholas "Nick" Allen Fowler We take time to honor and remember Nick Fowler. Nick passed on December 31, 2020 at the age of 60. Nick was a generous, good-hearted man who gave to his family and his community. Nick was responsible for so many improvements and projects for the Southside Fire Company. Nick was a soft-spoken good leader. Nick Fowler had been chief, deputy chief, and assistant chief at Southside Fire Company. Fowler joined the Southside Fire Company in 1984. After our shows, some Lucky Afternoon Band members would often sit with Nick, company officers, and other members in the "secret office" solving the world's problems and having some laughs. We'll miss you Nick! |

The Southside Fire Company volunteers do
their part to raise funds, fight fires, protect your property, and risk
their lives to save yours.... and don't get paid... they are unselfish,
community minded men and women who serve the community in crisis.
The next time they have a fund raiser, please support them... they're
out supporting you.
Thank you volunteers and fire fighters...God bless and protect you! |

After 20+ years being a member of the Lucky Afternoon Band as
our drummer / vocalist, Dave "Schrampie" Schramp has retired his sticks
and vocal chords. Schrampie is a seasoned and master musician
we'll miss tremendously.  His passion for music, experiences we shared, and our friendship will be cherished by all of us forever. He will still fill-in when needed and we'll beg him to do a couple of vocals when he comes to see us. Love you our brother! |
