I´m sorry to hear of Coaches passing. Mike had coached me through most of Little League and Senior League. He was the finest Coach I ever had. I have so many memories of him through most of my formative years and I truly miss him. I always looked forward to practice and being around Mike. His wit was quick and sharp. Although I had lost touch with him after moving to Texas, I always thought of Coach often. I´m so sorry for his family. I know you´ll be reunited one day. Glenn Booth

Mike and I worked together several years in Florida and ran 9 marathons together in the 1980's. I am so sorry I had lost contact with him. My condolences to his family and many friends.

- I have had a lifelong friendship with Mike Logan. We both attended St. Athanasius parochial school in Philadelphia and met in 1st Grade. That is where he became the first and most influential "hero" in my life.
- Mike was born to be a very strong young man. He used that natural strength to protect others who needed his defense. He repeatedly stepped up to safeguard his fellow classmates from older school bullies who used the school playground as an opportunity to torment younger schoolmates. This was my doorway to Mike becoming my best friend, as well as the only real "hero" in my life. Even though we went to different high schools and colleges, I kept my hero on my radar. He was always generous of heart and so much fun to be with. This even extended into later life and
- it was a no brained for me to ask Mike to be my "Best Man" 10 years ago at my marriage to Pat. My "hero" continued to be a truly great friend and both Pat and I will sorely miss him.

Mike was such a wonderful man. He made sure to build everybody up. He always had a joke and a smile. Mike was a positive force in every situation. He will be missed but will remain in our hearts. Just thinking of him makes me smile and think, "Which way to the beach?" He had great stories about his travels and experiences. He will be sorely missed by my family. RIP

Mike was a wonderful caring person who could light up a room with his smile and energy. Our family was fortunate enough to get to spend a great deal of time with Mike and Mary Ann over the last 10+ years and enjoyed his singing of Irish classics and his amazing ping pong skills. His love of all things related to sports was evident, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Our family was on the receiving end of a great gift when we met Mike. He will be missed.

My condolences to Claire and Family. Mike was a friend and neighbor from my childhood. Mike's antics would need a lot more space. He was a treasure and enjoyment wherever he was. Mike you will be missed. Zog

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I was very fortunate to have been able to spend many great times with Mike over many years at the Country Club of Coral Springs Tennis . The players at the club would call him the human backboard as he could go 10 minutes without missing a ball. Mike would change the energy in any room he walked into and was a tremendous positive and
caring person. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.

"Mr. Logan" as I always called him was such a fun loving man! My brother Tom Hess and I went w/Trish (and a few others) to Ireland in 1993 and had one of the best times of our lives! He helped us sing our way thru the entire pub crawl! Love and a toast to a happy, wonderful person that definitely made an impact on us....Sincerely - Susie Hess Krisman
