Jon Jacobs

I just discovered that we lost JJ. I was hoping to see him and his easy smile again. Always the consummate competitor, he was a part of our aviation competitions that I always enjoyed. I wish we'd had more time.

We will miss JJ here in NW Ohio. I send condolences from all the Lite Flyer guys and especially Hummel Aviation. Though Jon retired from the "Chief Demo Pilot" position a few years ago, we all enjoyed his occasional visits. Whether it was stories about an engine out landing or an update on the current cycle project, we always blew thru the better part of an afternoon catching up. Jon was a true friend to Hummel Aviation, we'll miss him.

JJ was a heck of a pilot, an intolerable cuss, and a good friend. I'll miss you, Jon.

Actually one of the best friends I've had. Nice Obit as well.

mindy and family, talked to marti this am and she told me of your dads passing. I knew him briefly, but remember how much he loved his planes and teaching. he would be so happy when he talked about his students. I am so glad that you were with your father, as he continues on his journey. God bless you, peace in your heart...ellen malko-stacy temperance, mi

Please let me know the details about the wake when they are available.

Jon (or JJ, as we all knew him) had a big personality with strong opinions that not everyone could handle, but if he considered you his friend, he would do anything for you. In many ways he was the glue that held our flying group together.

I learned a lot from him, both about flying and about life in general. He was my good friend, and I will miss him.

Mindy you did a wonderful job on the obit. You captured the many facets of Dad.

So sorry for your loss..We knew him from the Flying Foolz out of Michigan. ..Our motto was Fly to eat. ..Eat to fly. .which he took very seriously. .. There wasn't a plane he couldn't fly or wouldn't fly . Prayers to you all.
