Gerald G. "Jerry" Logue

Gerald “Jerry” Guy Logue, age 89, originally of North Side and formerly of Mars and West Deer, passed away on Thursday October 12, 2023 at St. Barnabas Health System in Gibsonia. Jerry was born on January 23, 1934, to Morris “Huff” and Eva (Ravenstahl) Logue and was the youngest of six boys. Jerry served two years in the U.S. Army from 1956-1958, including 6 months in Texas and 18 months in Germany, where he was made staff sergeant. After his service, Jerry was employed with the USPS as a mail carrier for 35 years before retiring in 1993. He was a member of the Duquesne Maennerchor Club, where he joined his friends every Thursday evening for many years.

Jerry married the love of his life, Paula Kelly, on September 5, 1959, with whom he shared joys and laughs for 64 years, most of which were spent on West Starz Rd in West Deer Township. In addition to his beloved wife, Jerry is survived by his three devoted daughters, Denise (Dean) Leonhard of Mars, Sharon (Mark) Cassler of Glenshaw, and Kelly (Jeff) Stuckley of West Deer; his four grandchildren, Nicholas (Rachael) Leonhard of Mars, Dana Leonhard of Mars, Ryan Cassler of Bellevue, and Olivia Stuckley of Tarentum; his three great-grandchildren, Kendall and Clark Leonhard and Owyn Cassler; as well as many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. 

In addition to his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by his five older brothers: Jim (Mary), Jack (Mae), Paul (Pat), Bill, and Dick Logue, as well as his beloved grandson, Jeffrey Stuckley. 

As towering as he was gentle, as guarded as he was gracious, and as soft-spoken as he was respectful, Jerry had a substantial physical presence and often did not have much to say. Those who were close to him knew that when he did speak up, it was always with purpose, wit, and consideration. Jerry consistently thought of others before himself, especially his wife, daughters, and grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, taking photos, playing cards, hunting, fishing, bowling, watching the Steelers and classic western movies, and was increasingly interested in the newest technological advances — he was fascinated with computers, tablets, cell phones, smart televisions, etc. and took the time to learn about each device so he could navigate anything that was presented to him.

Jerry’s family would like to extend their appreciation to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the St. Barnabas Health System and Hospice employees for their time and assistance with his care. 

Friends will be received at the McDonald-Aeberli Funeral Home, Inc. 238 Crowe Ave. Mars, PA on Sunday, October 15, 2023 from 2-4 & 6-8 PM. Services will be held on Monday at 11:00 AM at the funeral home with Rev. Gary Dindinger, officiating. Memorials may be made to Make-A-Wish in memory of Jeffrey Stuckley (wish.org).
