Narrative:
Small aircraft X on an approach to eyw first call to eyw tower was on a 1/8 mi final to runway 9. We were looking for this aircraft because we had a release of another aircraft subject visual separation of small aircraft X. I spotted the aircraft on a 1/2 mi final and told the coordinator who was talking to nrx to switch small aircraft X. Approach control claimed small aircraft X didn't take the switch earlier. The eyw atm/atrep checked on this incident and found out that the nrx controller indeed forgot to switch the aircraft.
