Not sure what to say?

I still think of Mr Logsdon as "North Marion", he was so active & involved, always present in his gray sweats & whistle hanging from his neck. He must be having a great reunion with Rolland Westover & others who have proceeded us.

Mr. Logsdon was well liked & loved by everyone at North Marion Hi. I had him for Science, P.E., Driver's Ed, & coaching. I recall that he really enjoyed seeing my brother Tom's white '34 Ford hotrod p/u in the parking lot. That same truck is now back in our family. It was great to see Mr Logsdon at the NM reunion a few years ago at Eric Berkey's farm near Hubbard. Does anyone know what Bob's final year was at North Marion? I don't see him in the '62 & '63 yearbooks?? Gary Gilligan, NM...

~From dinnertime chuckles to late-night guffaws, Bob and I shared many laughs.
That's how I'll remember best our time together at Rose Linn.

It was truly an honor to care for him during these past five months. Thank
you.~

Bob was such a great guy! Always happy and interested in what was going on in your life. He will definitely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

We remember the dedication Bob made in the design and re-planting the landscape at the Canby Christian Church in memory of Janice.

Linda, you've shared many fun stories about your dad over the years and said he recognized what a wonderful life he'd had. That's the best! What a lucky man to be surrounded by the love of his family all the way to the end. The best to you and your family as you cherish your memories.

As a student at Wallowa High School in the 1950's Mr. Logsdon, who came to us fresh from Pacific University, made a positive impact on many of us in that little high school of 100 students. One of my favoite memories is that wonderful smile and robust energy when he would stop by the office to say "hi" during my routine as student office helper. We often had brief conversations which left me feeling like I was deserving of his compliments and encouragement.

My very best wishes...

I was shocked and saddened to read about Bob's passing.
