A loyal friend.  That pretty much sums up Jim Logan to those who were counted as such.  He was of course a dear Father, Husband, Grandfather, and Brother to family with all the special attachments & feelings that come with those bindings. Yet there is something very special about enduring friendship.  Friends can sometimes say things to each other that can transcend even the boundaries of family sharing a great joy or a  deep sadness that allows friendships to endure.  Let it be said that Jim honored friends even after worldly friendships expired.  A visitor to the office lobby of Jim’s business creation, American Settlement Centers,  was greeted by a framed picture honoring one of Jim’s esteemed attorney friends - memorializing their special friendship. Jim never forgot - maybe a trait engendered by his military service.  As a friend and professional colleague, Jim’s memory will endure.  Rest in peace my friend.

My condolences to Jim's family. Jim has definitely lived a long, successful life and contributed much to his community, his industry, and his country. I can only feel gratitude for him as he was instrumental in getting my career in Medicare Compliance off the ground. It was an honor to work under him and soak up his wisdom. And for 11 of my younger years, he was family.  RIP Jim. You served us all well.

I have known and loved Jim for 73 years. During all of those years, one of my primary goals during our time together was to get him laughing out of control. It didn't take much.

What follows is a series of pictures taken in 2002. This is how I will always remember him.

It is a little-known fact that Jim has ALWAYS blown his nose in exactly the same way, using the now patented "triple side swipe" technique. Did you know that his sister, Sherry, blows her nose this way, too? Is it genetic? Do his two lovely daughters also blow their nose this way?

I brought this to his attention in 2020 during a visit to my house in Dunedin and we decided to document his technique for posterity.

As his older cousin, I have many happy memories of my brother George with cousin Sharon and me playing board games with Jim , while the grownups played cards and chatted upstairs in the living room. Also, our family attended every Thanksgiving dinner at their house. Such beautiful memories of long ago.

My favorite picture of Jim.  Always smiling and never complaining about the pain he was in.  This is how I will forever remember him.

Dinner with the Pope’s.  Carol had a major role in helping us achieve the dream.

A special intimate moment at her marriage to Dan.

Visit by cousins Jan and Rich (Coco Ricky).  We loved family visits.

So many great memories in Michigan and Florida.  I posted just a couple of my favorite pictures. We always had a great time and there were lots of laughs.

Christine and family, 
I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with Jim early on in my claims career learning about structured settlements and was often in awe of how he was able to connect with those individuals in a way that left them feeling cared about and valued despite the adversity of the situation.  He definitely made a name for himself in the industry.

My sincere condolences to Jim’s wife Debbie and his daughters and the rest of his family.
I worked with Jim over the years at AAA and learned a lot from his knowledge and experience.  
May he rest in peace.
Chris and Jim Eaton
