Richard P. Logullo

Richard Phillip “Dick” Logullo, 83, of Centralia, passed away peacefully on June 23rd 2020 at Centralia Manor. Richard was born September 13, 1936 in Chicago to Virginia (Karigan) Logullo and John Logullo, who preceded him in death. Richard married Janet Schwarz on August 8, 1959, who also preceded him in death. Richard married his loving wife and caretaker Pamela (Long) Logullo on November 6, 1987, who survives him. He is also survived by his favorite traveling companion and sister, Joan Ciszewski of Chicago. In addition to his wife and sister, Richard is survived by his six children: Jeff Logullo and wife Sara of Saint Louis, Missouri, Karen Bader and husband Bill of Aurora, Missouri, Jon Logullo and wife Stephanie of Greenville, Nicole Holland and husband Marcus of Centralia, Sandi Sipe and husband Nathan of Centralia, and Taylor Feig and husband Jordan of Collinsville; 9 grandchildren; one great grandchild; and many nieces and nephews. Richard practiced dentistry for 53 years, before retiring (reluctantly) in 2017. He truly had a passion for his work, and was known in town as the “gentle dentist” by the many generations of families he served. Despite being a dentist, he had a sweet tooth that couldn’t be rivaled; he was a self-proclaimed chocoholic. Richard was a veteran of the United States Army and served in the Army Dental Corps. Richard enjoyed golfing every chance he could, no matter the weather. He had a wide variety of interests such as traveling, scuba diving, skiing, going to the movies, and learning about art and history. Richard especially loved taking trips to Walt Disney World, and was Mickey Mouse’s biggest fan. Richard was a hardworking and kind man who cared immensely about his family. His laugh and smile were infectious, and he will be deeply missed by all of his family, friends, and patients. Due to the pandemic, private family services will be held and entombment will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Centralia. In honor of Richard, memorial donations may be made to Saint Mary’s School in Centralia, the Alzheimer’s Association, or the American Cancer Society and will be accepted at the Sutherland-Garnier Funeral Home 235 North Sycamore Street Centralia, Illinois 62801, (618)532-3523, who is honored to be of service to the Logullo Family.
