James P. Logan, age 70 of Wayne, died peacefully at home on Thursday, February 6, 2014. He had courageously fought a brief battle with cancer. He was a lifelong resident of Wayne and had retired from the Preakness Healthcare Center where he had worked for over 30 years.
Jimmy considered Packanack Lake to be his home. He had very fond memories of Growing up there, he loved walking around the lake, fishing, catching turtles and enjoying all that Packanack Lake had to offer. He was one of the sweetest most humble guys that you could ever meet and had a wonderful sense of humor. Wherever he went, he was always running into someone he knew. He was very well liked in town. His friends meant a lot to him and nothing made him happier than being on the golf course with his buddies. Jimmy would golf at every chance he got and he was a regular fixture at the Packanack Golf Club. He even made a hole-in-one at the Packanack course. He had also been a lover of bowling. He was a league bowler for more than thirty years, and as of late he started to play Keno with his buddy Butch which he enjoyed very much....as long as he was winning. Another one of Jimmy's passions was rooting for the local area teams in particular, Yankees, Giants, Rangers and Knicks. Jimmy was never at a loss for words when it came to talking about sports. He was a true fan!
Jimmy was a gentle and kind person; truly a nice guy and even as things grew to be a bit tougher for him you would never hear him complaining about anything. He always looked at the bright side of life. Even when cancer took ahold of him, and he knew he couldn’t golf anymore, or visit with his very dear friends at the Valley Brook hangout, he still didn’t complain. He would simply try to relax at home and keep a positive attitude.
Jimmy is survived by his niece; Monica Goodwin and her husband Kevin of Wayne, his nephew Scott Logan of Johnston, RI, great-nephews; Kevin Goodwin, Jr., and Nicholas Goodwin, and one great-niece; Jessica Goodwin. He was predeceased by his mother Vivian Logan in 2012, his father; John Logan in 1978, and by his brother Robert Logan in 2011.
