Pat was a boss and friend of the working Copper. If you need someone to handle a beef, you wanted Lt. Logan. He loved helping you out. All Bark and No bite

I remember looking for Patrick at the end of 2018, hoping to reconnect with him. Alas, I was too late and Pat was gone. If there are those you care for, hold them close and tell them they are loved. The time we have is short and you may not have another chance. Rest In Peace Patrick.

I remember having lunch with him and Paulie Meyer, from Traffic, at the Melrose on Broadway he knew the orders like the back of his hand, but all those old guys did, he was a good guy.

A one of a kind guy. He knew the general orders like the back of his hand. He will be missed by all that knew him and respected him. R.I.P. Pat.

Pat and I roomed together many years ago when we were both much younger. I remember the rich aroma from his pipe. I remember his dear friend Heidi. I remember the twinkle in his eyes and his endless good humor. The man got me hooked on Cutty Sark -- my favorite Scotch whiskey to this day. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Pat You were very police smart, and a great supervisor. I remember the time myself and another officer got into an altercation with a combative citizen. You insisted on helping us out with the paper work while puffing away on your pipe. God Bless You Pat Logan, and RIP.

Many memories of standing in the 18th District hallway, eagerly awaiting his trademark roar of "Roll Call" for the first watch so the afternoon shift could could all go home. If you ever had a question you knew you could walk in the WC office and he would get the answer out of his carefully maintained orders next to his gulp size cup full of pens and highlighters on his desk.

Paddy was always musing and full of life. He loved the CPD and the men and women he served with. I'm sure he will missed by many! RIP

Pat loved being the police and was always a bright spot in CPD scenery.
I'm impressed by the concern and compassion that active and retired CPD officers showed him (and Lenny) in his ending time...impressed, but not surprised. And I know he was grateful too. Be in God's peace now, Pat.

To say Pat was full of life would be an understatement. Just thinking of him now, I see the great Irish smile and that ever present cigar. I remember him as a stand up guy, who always had the men and women that worked for him best interests at heart.

Pat was one of my favorite clients when I owned Rogers Bark. He was a friendly face with a fiercely loyal and protective spirit for his neighborhood. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and wish Lennie as much peace and love as possible.
