Bellaire, MI | 4 March 2011 | ELLAIRE — Richard Louis Kellogg, of Bellaire and formerly of Traverse City, died March 4, 2011, at Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility in Bellaire. He was born Jan. 4, 1926, in Berkley, to Clarence and Eleanor (DuMinke) Kellogg. Serving in World War II in the Eighth Air Force, he achieved the rank of sergeant.Richard married Barbara Jean Metro in 1949. Their happy marriage lasted 42 years, until the death of Barbara in 1991. Their union produced two surviving sons, Mark Kellogg, of Traverse City, and Kurt Kellogg, of Portland, Ore. Richard worked at General Motors Corp. (Pontiac Division) from 1952-68, as a design engineer in the body and instrument panel departments. He invented a number of innovative concepts that were incorporated into American cars. After retiring from General Motors, he was the owner of Sportsman's Bar in Kearsarge from 1968-73. Later in life, he became the bestselling author of the novel, "Wall of Silver." Richard was a long-time member of the Elks Lodges in Pontiac and Traverse City. He was an avid fisherman, archer, golfer, and collector of many things. He participated in two Michigan Open Golf Tournaments in the 1950s. Richard lovingly passed along his own interests and hobbies to his sons. Through subtle example, he also imparted onto his sons the importance of free thought and creativity. His original sense of humor will be greatly missed. |
