Larry Kellogg was born December 19, 1954, the son of Dale and Wilma (Martin) Kellogg in Charles City, IA. He attended New Hampton High School. After completing his education, Larry worked a variety of jobs, including Stoltz Construction, Sara Lee, Floyd County and the State of Iowa, as well as Winnebago Industries. On December 16, 1977, Larry was united in marriage to Diane Hoffman at the Little Brown Church in Nashua. The couple made their home on the Kellogg family farm in Ionia. Together they raised their five children, Michele, Joe, Jackie, Brian and Lisa. Larry spent much of his life farming and most notably, bee keeping. Kellogg’s Honey was established in 1989 and his honey can be found in several retail locations throughout the state. Larry was respected as a mentor for neighboring bee keepers throughout the years. On the rare occasion that Larry wasn’t working, he enjoyed hunting and fishing. Those left to cherish Larry’s memories are his wife, Diane of Ionia; his children, Michele (Doug) Munn of Clear Lake, Jackie (Ken) Zeien of Waverly, IA, Brian (Shana) Kellogg of Ionia, and Lisa Kellogg of Ionia; his 13 grandchildren; his siblings, Wayne Nathem of Waterloo, IA, Leroy (Lynette) Kellogg of Ionia, Leslie (Cindy) Kellogg of Ionia and Sandra (Dan) Bucknell of Tripoli, IA and numerous nieces and nephews.
