In Memoriam: John Logue
On Wednesday December 9 John Logue, the Founder of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center (OEOC) and OEOC Director for 23 years passed away, about a week after being diagnosed with cancer. We counted him rich for his intellect, honesty, persistence, justice, generosity, and an absolute inability to be mean. Of most of these gifts, he was aware, but never boasted of them. Not a month before he died, before he knew of his mortal illness, he counted himself fortunate to have “a good wife, good children, good colleagues and a good job.”
