Charles Paul Logg Jr.

October 16, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Princeton, NJ, on

February 24, 1931, the son of Charles Logg Sr. and Anna (Lewis) Logg of Monmouth

Junction, NJ.

Chuck graduated from Rutgers University Class of 1953 where he earned a Bachelor’s in

Agriculture. While attending university, he met his future wife, Janice E. Tiedeman. Also,

while attending Rutgers Chuck qualified for the 1952 Summer Olympic games by winning

the US Olympic Trials on Lake Quinsigamond in Worchester, Ma with Tom Price in coxless

pair event. Chuck and Tom were an unlikely pair, as Chuck was a junior with three years

rowing experience, and Tom was a freshman who had just started rowing. They went on to

the 1952 Summer Olympic games held in Helsinki Finland, known as “The Cinderella Kids”

due to their surprise success, and in a shell named “Cinderella” to win the Gold Metal for

coxless pair event for the USA.

Upon graduation Chuck was commissioned by the United States Army as Second

Lieutenant, 1st Aviation Company. Chuck continued his education in the US Army by

graduating from the Ordinance School in 1954. He then went on to graduate from Army

Primary Flight school at Gary Air Force Base and proceeded to graduate from Army Aviation

and Engineering School in 1956. While in school with the United States Army, Chuck was a

member of the National Society of Scabbard and Blade in 1955.

Upon Chucks expiration of United States Army active duty in 1958 with rank of Captain,

he was commissioned by the National Guard of New Jersey as First Lieutenant in

Transportation Corps in 1959. While in the guard Chuck achieved the rank of Captain and

flew, by helicopter, many dignitaries to events requiring timely attention. While in New

Jersey, Chuck owned his own helicopter crop dusting business which provided crop

dusting to farmers and the State of New Jersey.

In the Fall of 1965 Chuck moved the family to Homestead, Florida to Farm Vegetables

and continue the Helicopter crop dusting business. Over many decades in Florida Chuck

was always working in various aspects of the farming industry which was his passion.

In the mid 70’s Chuck was remarried to Mary Frances while pursuing his passion in

farming. Upon retirement (although I don’t think he ever retired) he pursued his second

passion in rowing. He traveled all over the country to participate in rowing events into his

80’s.

In addition to his parents, Charles was predeceased by his wife Mary Frances

(Thompson) November 17, 1999, daughter Patricia (Logg) Castner June 19, 2013; Sister

Beverly Ann (Logg) Katterman 2009 . He is survived by his children Joanne Logg of

Homestead, FL, Charles Douglas Logg of Milford, NJ, Margaret McGarty Homestead, FL,

David Logg Homestead, FL and John Logg of Scituate, MA; 14 grandchildren; and 7 greatgrandchildren and step daughters Becky and Dixie.

A celebration of life will be held in January 2026, location to be determined by David.

Interment will take place in the Atlantic Ocean.
