I wish I could have been there to farewell a funny, kind and very special friend of our family. Who will ever forget the tomatoes and cucumbers? Or the Hide-a Bed story? Bob Logan's friendship with my dad brought him so much joy and so many laughs (and beverages). I miss you all, and New Zealand feels very far away.

Much love to Joanie and family from Missy.

My Dear Logans,

Just heard of Bob's death from Mike.

After a good cry so many good memories came flooding back, the Back Lot, the tomatoes and especially how funny Bob Logan and Bob Anderson were together. My thoughts are with you all.

Love, Cindy

Ah, memories! God bless his soul. For about 24 years now visiting with the neighbor Hahns as a Hahn son-in-law how many times Mr. Logan and I spoke across the fence for long sessions about this and that and the world. Well, his attitude was always positive and up-lifting.

To Mrs. Logan thank you for everything. You have a wonderful family. Your Bob now is in a better place creating new Back Lot floats with Louis and June. God bless.

I grew up on the same block as the Logan's, three houses away. I saw a lot of Mr. Logan. I always remember him smiling and in a good mood, even when we were stealing vegtables out of his garden. When I was older and moved away I remember Mr. Logan bringing vegtables to my mother when I went to her house to visit. He did that often and she really appreciated it. He was always so sweet and I will remember him that way always. The world is short one very special person and my heart goes out to his family.

I have never met Mr. Robert Logan, but I have considered his son Andrew a close friend for many years. The reflection that "the son is an image of the father" goes both ways. I am glad for Andrew and the entire family.
