Steve Briggs

Fond memories of Japan and Air Wing Five with Yokosuka neighbors: Steve, Jeanie, Jeffrey, and Amy. We flew together off USS Midway whenever Steve manned up an A-6. He was always seeking the illusive perfect flight. Rod & Lynne (departed 3/9/24)

Steve an Jeannie welcomed my young family to Atsugi with a pound cake in the middle of our first night. Their kindness and consideration were astounding to our young 0-3 senses. He made a huge difference in our lives and we think of them often. Fair winds and following seas- Mike "Cal" Worthington and Heather Worthington

I worked for ADM Briggs when he was COMSTRKFTRWINGPAC as the Wing Safety Officer right before I retired in 1990. He was one of the best officers I have ever known. Smart, resourceful, and fully supportive of some difficult decisions I had to make during mishap investigations at the time. He was the type of leader every naval officer should try to emulate.

We had fun in Japan and making Midway Magic work. Heartfelt condolences to Jeffrey, Amy and the rest of the family. Rod & Lynne Franz

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Admiral. Naval Aviation misses you. VR Hoser

Steve Briggs and I started our careers as Naval Aviators together in the same Pensacola Preflight Class in June 1963. We later served together in Attack Squadron NINE-FOUR (VA-94) at NAS Lemoore and aboard USS Coral Sea (CV-43). He was a great friend and will be greatly missed. RIP old friend.
