Peter B. Logan

Peter was born in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and lived there until the untimely death of his father in 1948. At that time he came to America with his mother and younger sister, settling in Santa Barbara, CA to be near family.

He graduated from S.B. High School in 1950, furthering his studies at SBCC and Pasadena Bible College. He met Joanne (Standish) at Church and after a 2 year courtship they were married. Four children soon filled their lives – daughters, Patricia (Knight) (deceased 2010) and Katherine (Cohen), and sons Jim and Steve.

He Joined Raytheon Co. (RTX), in 1957 working with Facilities until his retirement in 1992. As a man of many skills, he fondly became known as “Mr. Fix-It” for family, friends, neighbors and even strangers.

He enjoyed gardening, camping, fishing, and traveling with family and friends. Many memorable trips included 2 fishing trips to Alaska, a trip to Switzerland and 7 to Australia to visit their daughter and husband living there.

Following Open Heart surgery in 2004 Pete joined “Mended Hearts, Inc.” becoming a Volunteer at Cottage Hospital, visiting Heart Patients and walking the halls with his beloved little Shelty, Lena, with the Dog Therapy Organization.

Their home on Edgewood Drive for 45 years was always open for friends, extended family and even strangers for a visit or an extended stay. In 2013 they knew it was time for a new adventure and relocated to Rancho Santa Barbara Mobile home Park.

His strong faith remained central in his life, supporting him through a stroke and further surgeries. When asked, How ya doing?, he always smiled, answering “Great!”

Pete passed away peacefully at home with his wife Joanne by his side. He is survived by his sister, Ellie Logan, his 3 children, 6 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at Living Faith Center on Friday, June 20, at 1:00pm.

A special thanks to Central Coast Hospice for the loving support and care given to Pete and all the family.
