Frank Jackson Logan

September 23, 2026. Born on October 2, 1942, to Guy Alvah Logan and Mae Augusta Logan, he grew up in Hickory and graduated from Claremont Central High School (Hickory High School).

Frank was a devout family man, known for his dedication as a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He loved watching his family grow and was immensely proud of all of them and their accomplishments.

Frank was a hard-working man and began his career at Superior Cable in 1961. Over the course of his 41-year career at CommScope, he was a successful and respected businessman. When he retired, he was the Executive Vice President of the International Cable Division at CommScope. During his career, Frank enjoyed all of his travels. Two of his favorite places to travel and explore were Japan and Australia—he was fascinated by the cultures and loved the countries and people.

Frank loved riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycles around curvy mountain roads and made many cross-country rides out West. He deeply loved his dogs and enjoyed frequently going for walks and car rides with them. Frank was always fascinated with astronomy and excited about rare astronomical events and stargazing.
