Samuel 'Sam' Otis Logan
CLEARLAKE OAKS -- On a warm sunny day, in the not too distant past, "Big John," one of the Logan family's prized appaloosa horses, lay down in a grassy field amongst the wild flowers, went to sleep, and never woke up.
Wednesday evening, Jan. 24, 2001, Samuel Otis Logan of Clearlake Oaks joined "Big John."
Sam, 85, beloved father of Sam, Doug and Ila Logan, father-in-law of Marie and Donna, grandfather of Sam and Jennifer, husband of the late Helen Claire Logan, passed away at Kaiser Hospital in Walnut Creek of complications relating to a broken hip.
Born on Jan. 21, 1916, in Oklahoma, Sam lived the majority of his life in California, first visiting Lake County in 1942. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army horse cavalry, and the U.S. Navy, in which he served during World War II. He was a prisoner of war and the recipient of many medals, including two purple hearts and the Navy's Distinguished Service Medal.
He was a member of Plumbers Local 38, the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge, the Live Oak Seniors and the Lake County Sheriffs Posse. He will be remembered for his love of animals.
Services will be 2 p.m. Friday at Jones & Lewis Clear Lake Memorial Chapel in Lower Lake.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated at the Live Oak Senior Center in Clearlake Oaks or the Clearlake Oaks Fire Department.
