Lawrence Constantine Logan

Lawrence Constantine Logan was born on January 1, 1928, in Siloah - St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, to Thomas and Gledsie Logan. He was the third of seven children, and the only boy. He was affectionately known as Logie to his friends and family.

Lawrence attended Excelsior High School in Kingston, Jamaica. After graduation, he worked in accounting at Gore Bros. He married his wife, Gwendolyn (Gwen),in June 1959 and shortly thereafter immigrated to the United States. They settled in Brooklyn, New York,for twenty-seven years where they made many friends whom they hosted and entertained with family in their home for many events over the years.

Lawrence was an avid traveler and in his younger year she traveled to countless islands and countries. He was a magnificent cook, making delicious meals from his homeland and figuring out how to craft dishes from the countries he visited and the restaurants whose cuisine he enjoyed. He was a DJ in his own right and owned several hundred record albums. He enjoyed photography and loved his Canon cameras. He was also a passionate domino player and just knew he was the best at any table. He will be remembered as a man that everyone loved, especially the ladies whom he always greeted with a "Hello Darling" with the Jamaican accent he never lost.

Lawrence worked at Aloha Travel Agency in Flatbush,Brooklyn, for many years. He was well known in the neighborhood and had numerous friends and fans. He was also actively involved in the Excelsior Old Student Association and regularly held meetings at his Travel Agency until he retired. Upon retirement, Lawrence and Gwen relocated to Royal Palm Beach, Florida, in 1993. Lawrence immediately became an active member in the Jamaican community and a member of the Caribbean American For Community Involvement(CAFCI). Lawrence went on to serve as President of CAFCI (1999-2001) and then Chairman of the Board(2004-2005), where he helped advance the organization’s purpose to enhance the social, educational, and health needs of the community whilst remaining rooted in cultural and traditional ancestral origins.

Lawrence was also on the Board of Crestwood Performing Arts League (CPAL) and his assistance was integral in obtaining donations for Palm Beach elementary schools.

From his relocation until his passing, Lawrence was a devoted member of St. David’s of the Pines, where he remained involved in numerous ways, including serving on the vestry and as an usher. It was hard not to recognize and appreciate his one-of-a-kind smile and warm presence.

Lawrence was known for his kindness, generosity, sharp wit, and infectious sense of fun. Always the life of the party, he had a quick response for any situation—usually one that left everyone laughing. He was as caring as he was clever though; Lawrence gave freely of both his time and his resources, always ready to help others with a generous heart.

Lawrence is survived by his only living sister, Claudette (Polly) Evans, his longtime friend andcaretaker, Kathleen Lannaman, his goddaughter, Karlene Lannaman-Green, cousins, a host of nieces and nephews, and countless friends. He is already dearly missed, but we know we will meet him again in the everlasting spiritual life where he has rejoined his wife,Gwen, and his sisters – Daphne Facey, Sylvia Bryan, Olga Brown, Mowbray Thomas, and Phyllis Russell.
