James Logsdon Obituary
James A. "Tony" Logsdon passed away on March 17, 2015 from complications of aspiration pneumonia. Tony was born in Madison on March 20, 1955 at King's Daughter's Hospital to Toni Logsdon and the late Jay Logsdon of Orlando, FL.
After graduating from MCHS Tony went on to join the US Navy where he served for 7 years. After an honorable discharge he relocated to Orlando, FL where he worked in the banking industry. He was a true outdoorsman and you could find him fishing, hunting, scuba diving and camping for most of his young adult years. A tragic motorcycle accident in 1985 left him disabled. He enjoyed spending time with his family, reading, playing cards and telling some pretty wild stories.
He leaves his mother, sisters Julie Logsdon, Jayna Jones, Tammy Lamm, Orlando, daughter Bridgette Hopkins and grandaughter Amaya in Honolulu, HI, Dianne and Junie Tullis, Hanover, Mabel Waas, Cary, NC and many loving nieces,nephews and cousins. A private family service will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery on March 28, 2015.

I served and became friends with Tony in the Navy. I only found out today by doing a search for Tony after finding a few letters he wrote to me. RIP my brother.
Fair winds and following seas.
To all his family I am sorry for your huge loss.

Sorry to hear of Tony´s passing. I met Tony in a Navy Electronics Technician school course in Norfolk, VA.
We became good friends and would take off on weekends in my Mach1 Mustang..One weekend the universal joint blew driving back through PA and we were AWOL for a day maybe but talked our way out of it (if you knew Tony) lol.
I´m writing this because I found a couple letters he wrote to me and googled him finding his obit. If any family reading this wants to have these letters you can email me at

Fair winds and following seas my brother!
Salute.
