Chuck Caldwell wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of John Franklin Brown Jr., Someone special will not be forgotten. Jay was a trusted friend and someone I trusted in my skill set. Of the four decades I have been a pilot, I have always measured my mechanics by whether I would go fly the plane if they said “good to go!” Jay, was VERY trusted and someone I can to this day count on one hand; that if he said “good to go,” I’d jump in the plane in a heartbeat! I’ll miss you friend, crusted as you were, your light shines on.”
