Sep 18, 1931 – Mar 23, 2021 (Age 89)
It is with great sadness that the family of Ralph Chadwick Logan announce Ralph’s passing, on March 23, 2021 at the age of 89 years. He is at home with his Lord and Savior.
Ralph was preceded in death by his parents, Van E. and Pearl T. (nee Tipton) Logan, as well as his beloved wife of 64 years, Martha. He will be lovingly remembered by his children Melissa (Joseph) and Nancy (Doug), and will be forever remembered as “Papa,” a title he revered, by his five grandchildren; Adam (Christie), Lauren (Sean), Meghan, Brian, Ian (Becca) and his great grandchildren; Charlotte, Regan, George and Logan.
Ralph’s greatest joys came from the life he and Martha built together and the family they shared it with. A talented craftsman, Ralph built his first home with Martha in Fairview Heights, IL. His ability to solve any problem was invaluable; from repairing plumbing to installing flooring, Ralph would always answer your call with a smile, laughter and a pair of helping hands.
A creative man, Ralph enjoyed letter writing, journaling and was known for his beautiful landscape oil paintings. A favorite place for Ralph to share his creativity was in the kitchen. There, he would come up with new and delicious flavor combinations and enjoyed recreating treasured meals from his travels for his friends and family. The times when Ralph was in the kitchen are memories that we all hold onto fondly.
A devout Christian, Ralph spent much of his time teaching Sunday School classes, serving on the church boards and committees, and participating in one of his biggest passions, the church choir.
Ralph’s memory is rooted in faith, rich in laughter, boasting in creativity and filled with strength and love.
The family will hold a private service. Arrangements provided through Mihovk-Rosenacker Funeral Home, 10211 Plainfield Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45241. Interment will be at Rest Haven Memorial Park. Online condolences may be shared at www.mrfh.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made through the following website, https://ralphlogan.weebly.com/ .

I first met Ralph when we both joined a small group Bible study for businessmen. We'd meet on alternate Fridays for breakfast and fellowship. I then discovered he was a neighbor of my in-laws in Blue Ash. When I wanted a financial advisor to help my young family, who else would I turn to? His planning was invaluable and his Christ centered approach to all of life was so very evident. My condolences to all the family.

Ralph and Martha were a very loving couple. We were blessed to have known them as fellow church members. They gave us good advice. We enjoyed the Christmas parties at their house. They had servants' hearts. We miss them but will see them again and rejoice that they are in heaven together.
God's blessings,
Gerald and Cathy Wallace

Ralph and Martha welcomed us with open arms when we moved to Cincinnati to serve at Mt Carmel. The love they showed us was more than words can say. My favorite memories of Ralph are singing in the choir and our Easter and Christmas programs - also when we sang a solo together. What a dear man he was to our family. Praying for all of you!
