It is with great sadness that I share this with you…
One of the best CJ whisperers has gone West.
Minneapolis Crystal (MIC) based Kelley Monroe passed away on Friday after battling brain cancer for 8 years.
Kelley was one tough cookie when it came to fighting cancer...and he fought it long and hard.
Over the last 20 years, Kelley IRAN and/or rebuilt eight CJ’s.
His attention to detail and workmanship was approaching, “unmatched.”
Kelley was also a jet guy.
After “the wall” fell, he and Ed Erickson went to Russia and bought L29’s.
Kelley owned and IRAN them as well as a Jet Provost.
The guy was an incredible wizard and willing to share his knowledge with anyone.
If you have his email address, please send Nancy, his wife of 35+ years, a note.
Kelley was like a brother to me…I can’t imagine having a flying season without him.

Dr. Schroeder, Thank you for sharing this information.
I sent the following note to Kelley's email in hopes Nancy is checking them.
Dear Nancy,
I am so sad to hear about your loss.
Several years ago came up and bought Kelly's last CJ. You were kind enough to invite me and two friends into you home for the event. Us Southern boys were surprised and grateful for the unexpected show of "Yankee" hospitality!
Kelly was a very special man, thank you for sharing him briefly with me. If I can be of help in the difficult times you face please let me know, even if it is just to listen.
Praying for you,
Jim Partington

I was put in contact with Kelly by Doug Sapp. Doug knew that I had a spare stock CJ motor and Kelly needed one for his latest CJ referb.
As Kelly and I talked about my motor and his project, I was so impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail that I sent him my motor and went up and reclaimed it when I bough the airplane.
Meeting Kelly and seeing his work was a very special event in my aviation life. His passion and tenacity for airplanes were on display from the moment I first spoke to him, He was a remarkable addition to his little section of aviation. I will miss him and his contributions.
God's speed and happy landings my friend.
Pooh
