C. Sumpter Logan

C. Sumpter Logan, 86, of Asheville, NC, previously from Southlake, TX, died Tuesday, November 21, 2023, in the presence of his wife Linda Ware Logan. Born in 1937, Sumpter graduated from DePauw University in 1959. Then he was hired on with GTE, where he continued to work for 60 years, serving in several management positions. During his tenure at GTE, he served in several positions including a number of years as President of GTE Airfone. Before retiring from GTE, Sumpter went on to obtain an MBA from the University of Chicago, followed later by a degree in arbitration, an area in which he continued to work for several years. Sumpter, a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), served in integral positions on the board of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Sumpter’s greatest love was his family, and especially his wife Linda, of 63 years of marriage. For many of those years, Sumpter and Linda could be found making an anniversary trip to Harbor Springs, MI, to enjoy and celebrate their lives together and their love for one another. They were avid Dallas Mavericks fans and season ticket holders and could be found attending most home games. Sumpter gave unwavering support and loving attention to his children and grandchildren, in all their activities, interests, and education. In addition to Linda, he is survived by his sisters Nell Logan and Mary Logan Stellberg (and husband John); his daughters Molly Logan of Asheville, and Amy ( and husband David) Hina of Murphy, NC; and grandchildren Kali, Mei Mei, and Caleb Hina. Sumpter was preceded in death by his sister Ann Logan Elias.
