Stanley E. Logsdon, 85, passed away peacefully Monday August 21st in the Palliative Care unit at Baptist East Hospital.
Stan was a 1951 graduate of Manual high School, and then served his country in the Navy from 1951 to 1955 as a radio operator.

Stan is survived by his wife Evelyn Rita's children and grandchildren, Marilyn, Lauren and Wes Parker, Larry and Matt Best and Brandon and Camron Detoma, and many many friends who were such a large part of his life.
