Brother Harold Logerman was born on September 26, 1923, to the union of the late Joseph and Agness Logerman. Brother Logerman was affectionately known to many for his spirit of generosity. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior, was filled with the Holy Ghost, and was baptized in Jesus' Name! His life was firmly rooted in faith, discipline, and service-principles that guided his selfless commitment to others.

As a young man, Brother Logerman developed a strong work ethic while assisting his brother with daily tasks before accepting his first job at Caffery Sugar Mill. Mr. Logerman was self-taught and used his life and profession as a platform to express his generosity, His integrity, diligence, and discipline opened many doors throughout his adult life. He later chose carpentry as his trade and became the first Black man to hold the position of Boiler Room Operator at Sterling Sugar Mill.

He and his brother made it a priority to fish and garden, not only for themselves but to share their harvest with the community. It brought him great joy, as giving was truly a part of who he was.
