Victor Joseph Logar, 80, passed away on October 22, 2025. He was born March 16, 1945 in Detroit, Michigan to Victor Jacob Logar and Shirley Virginia (Seitters). He graduated from Roseville High School in Roseville, Michigan where he excelled in academics, football and track and field.

He enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1965. He served as a Security Policeman for his first four years and as a Loadmaster for the rest of his career. He served in Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and several other places around the world. He received many medals and commendations during his service. Some of which are the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with 1 Bronze OLC, Air Force Commendation Medal with 1 Bronze OLC, Vietnam Service Medal with 1 Silver Star and 2 Bronze Stars, Air Force Combat V Device with 1 Silver OLC and 2 Bronze OLC, Philippine Presidential Unit Citation and Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Palm Device. He retired in 1990 as a Master Sergeant after over 25 years of service.

After his retirement he then dedicated his life to serving Veterans at VFW Post 4548 in Jacksonville, Arkansas. He served on various committees, including over 20 years on the House Committee. He volunteered for every function held at the Post and was instrumental in setting up several volunteer programs such as Adopt A Highway, Kids Fishing Derby and the Post Christmas Basket Program that benefits needy families in the local community. He kept track of all Post Life Members and Deceased Life Members names and made sure the nameplate boards were maintained and easily accessible. He cared for the 3200 flags that the VFW places on the graves of deceased veterans for Memorial Day and Veterans Day. He made repairs to the Post Home, performed other maintenance and kept everything picked up and clean to ensure a quality environment for all veterans and their families. He was also a founding member of the VFW Post 4548 Riders Group. He volunteered his time at the Post every day until his health declined last year due to his 12 year fight against cancer.

He also gave back to the local community. He collected 1.2 million beverage can tabs to donate to Ronald McDonald House which provides support for families of hospitalized children. He also donated books (adult and children’s) and DVD”s to the VA, Veterans Home, various nursing homes, local schools and Big Brothers/Big Sisters Organization. He also sold many raffle tickets for various causes over the years.

He was a voracious reader. He loved a good thriller or detective story. He subscribed to a wide variety of magazines including National Geographic, Mad magazine and Heavy Metal. He faithfully read them all. He could finish a book in a day or two depending on what he had on his schedule. He had a wickedly fun sense of humor. He loved to share jokes, play practical jokes and for years passed out cards with funny jokes on them to everyone he met.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his three brothers Michael, Edward and Lester and his sister Shirley. He is survived by his VFW family, his Brothers and Sisters in Arms, and many many friends. He is loved and will be greatly missed.
