James W. “Jimmy” Logan, 63, a native of Algiers, La., and a resident of Daphne, died Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011 at home.
He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy where he was awarded a National Defense Service Medal and a 1st Good Conduct Medal. He was the owner of West Mobile Electric where he worked as an electrical contractor, but more than that, he was a man of service where he sought to help anyone in need.
