My thoughts and prayers to a friend I met our first weeks at Gifford Jr. High and became friends – City kid and Suburban kid. Logan was all things described in his obituary, but his sense of humor and his smile are what I will most remember. He was friends to many, adversary to few, and a great competitor. Rest well my friend.

Jon Bassindale (Case HS Class of '77) says
Logan and I shared many good times running track together at Case HS. Our senior year we had one of the fastest times in the state in the Mile Relay. Logan was our anchor, the final leg in the relay. He had a slight frame and skinny legs but had the heart of a lion! Give him a lead and he held it. Give him a chance and he’d take it. He was the ultimate closer, giving every ounce that he had, never letting the team down. Not just a competitor, Logan was a true friend, always smiling and digging on his music. I was not surprised to hear all the stories told at Logan’s memorial service on Friday. The consistent theme was that Logan remained the anchor of his extended family and community. He will be missed but his memory remains strong. You have run the good race, Rest in God’s Glory My Friend.
Debra Woods-Cornelius says
