Memoriam: It is with deep sadness that I
report the passing of my old friend John "Bradley" Fowler, 58, from King, N.C. Husband, father and grandfather, Bradley was one of the "3 amigos!" -- Ronnie Watson, Bradley Fowler & T. Scott Brown always had a tub full of ice cold beer waiting for the dozen or so friends who would stop by and party in their crowded hotel room at almost every major North Carolina tournament for over 20 years! Bradley was always friendly, soft spoken and ready to play you a tough game of speed chess! Everyone who knew him, loved him... He will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace. NMLF |
