John Michael Logan

thank you for helping me through a very trying time in my life.

God Speed

My sincere condolences to the family and community of Abbot Logan. We were Novitiate classmates in 1955-1956 where we became friends. John was a very complex character with very clear likes and dislikes. He had his share of good and bad times in his life. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to Father Logan's family and friends. Father Logan was the officiant at my wedding in 1975 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and for that I will be eternally grateful. We also considered him a close family friend. He frequently sat in my aunt's kitchen with my mother and aunts to share coffee and a few laughs. He truly was a special man. Please know that you are all in my prayers.

I wish to extend my sympathy to the family of Father John. He was a Fine Priest, Good Friend and a Great Irishman. He touched many lives on his journey through this life and I am sure he will be rewarded in the next.

Father Logan was considered our family priest. I am one of four siblings and he married all of us and baptized all of our children. He had the best sermons! He met our family during his years at Archmere Academy in Delaware. In the early days I remember him cheering on the Green Bay Packers while sitting with our father in our living room. Father Logan was a respected gentle giant of wisdom and religious knowledge. The Walker Family expresses their sincere condolences on his passing.

I will never forget Fr. Logan. He was my teacher at Bishop Neumann and became a great friend. He married my wife and I and baptized both of my children. He also baptized my niece/god child.

My daughter is extremely upset as she intened to ask him to marry her.

He was a very good friend to my father before his passing. He was a member of our family and will never leave our hearts.

Hard to believe our Abbot Logan succumbed to a battle, he was such a fighter. We were sure he would live much longer. Our only consolation is that he is with his maker and recieving his eternal reward. May God grant to him the same kindness he showed to his brother Norbertines. He will certainly be remembered for the mark he made on religious life; Daylesford Abbey is definitively more united, vibrant, and dynamic than it was the day of his election. I can personally testify to his quiet generosity, but it will be his bright humor and genuine goodness that I will miss the most.
May the community he founded in Delaware take great consolation and hope in the Abbot's Coat of Arms, "God is Mercy."

Father Logan was an instrumental part of my family growing up in South Philadelphia. During his years at Bishop Newman High School,he taught 2 of my 4 brothers, and spent many evenings at our home.
He married my sister and my brother. He baptized my nephew and memoralized my father when he died suddenly in 1987. My family has many fond memories of him. I would like to offer my sincerest sympathy to his family and friends. He spent his lifetime serving the community and mentoring so many young lives . I feel fortunate to have known him as a child and as a young adult. I know he is in heaven and is reaping the benefits of the lives he touched and made a difference in.

Our deepest sympathies to all the members of the Logan family and our prayers for John that God reserves for him a special place in heaven.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Father John Logan. Father Logan performed the marriage ceremony for my husband and me, 37 year ago. I thought so highly of him and I was thrilled when he agreed to perform the ceremony. He also honored us by performing the baptismal rite for our son. Father Logan was honorable and honored, humble and humbling, inspired and inspiring. Not many men attain what Father Logan had, the respect, love and admiration of many. He was the credit to his family, his community, and especially his religion. Many will sorely miss him.
