Charles Logan
Dr. Charles Wilbur Logan, 80, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2015, surrounded by family and friends in his home in Little Rock, Arkansas. Dr. Logan was born on September 12, 1934 in Nashville, Tennessee to Joseph Wilbur Logan and Lillie Mae Polk Logan. He graduated in 1953 from Isaac Litton High School in Nashville where he played in the school's orchestra and marching band and served as student body president his senior year. During high school he organized and coached an underprivileged youth basketball team that won a citywide championship. He attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English Literature in 1956 and was selected as a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the Blue Key Honor Society. Also at SMU he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and was the student manager of the SMU basketball team that went to NCAA Final Four in 1956. In addition, he was sophomore class president, a member of the Student Governing Board involved in the successful campaign to build a new student center, and voted "friendliest boy on campus."
After college, he attended Vanderbilt Medical School in Nashville, where upon graduation in 1960 he was awarded the Founder's Medal as valedictorian of his class and selected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. He also was a member of the Phi Chi medical fraternity. After medical school, Dr. Logan did his surgery internship at New York Hospital in New York City, his surgery residency at Cornell Medical Center in New York City and his urology residency at Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1965-67 as part of a medical unit stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. After his military service, he moved to Little Rock and partnered with urologist Dr. James Headstream, and soon after they formed Urology Associates, which over the years added partners Dr. Malcolm Moore, the late Dr. Johnson Baker, Dr. David Hall and Dr. Keith Mooney. In the year 2000, Urology Associates merged with another group to form Arkansas Urology Associates. Dr. Logan was instrumental in bringing the first lithotripter to Arkansas (and 13th in the U.S.) from Germany in 1984. The device is a non-invasive tool used to break up kidney stones. Dr. Logan retired from medical practice at the end of June 2013 but remained active within the medical field until his passing.
His activities included involvement with the Arkansas Travelers Baseball Club, Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation, Arkansas Wildlife Federation, Rotary Club 99 of Little Rock, Ducks Unlimited, Visiting Nurses Association of Arkansas, Blue Cross Blue Shield Physicians Review Committee, and the Comprehensive Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for the State of Arkansas. His professional memberships included the American College of Surgeons (Board of Governors), American Medical Association, American Association of Clinical Urologists, American Urological Association (South Central Section), American Association of Pediatric Urology, Arkansas Medical Society, Arkansas State Urological Society, and Pulaski County Medical Society. He served on the boards or as an officer for almost all of the above organizations at some point in his life.
His interests included international and family travel, horse racing, gardening, hunting, fishing, baseball, collecting wood carvings, genealogy and golfing. He actively attended St. James United Methodist Church and Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Joyce Whitely Martin Logan; children, Charles Russell Logan, Christopher Lee Logan (Sara), and Karen Michelle Budrakey (Erik); three grandchildren, Connor Scott Logan, Vladimir Jon Budrakey, and Nadia Logan Budrakey; and brother Frank Gary Logan (Mary Emily).
"Charlie" is remembered warmly by his family, friends and colleagues as a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, friend and colleague. He was highly regarded by his professional peers and his patients. Everyone who met him always remarked on his boundless energy and enthusiasm for life, and he will be dearly missed.
Dr. Logan will be laid to rest on Sunday, June 28 at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, in a small family service. A memorial service will be held at St. James United Methodist Church in Little Rock on Wednesday, July 1 at 11:00 a.m. It was Dr. Logan's wish that in lieu of flowers donations be made either to the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation or the Arkansas Wildlife Federation.
