Perspectives on Johnny Moss Brown Jones ” - Multiple authors

“I remember Johnny Brown as a very intelligent young man who had wisdom beyond his years. Johnny was a caring person always had time to listen to you and if he didn't know the answer he would find it for you. Johnny Brown as I remember always had a smile and a kind word, I never heard him speak ill of anyone. There is a saying that Johnny would always say and I still use it to this day and it is "nothing never just happened, it happen just". ” - Versi Connesero
