WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 25, 2011: 
Kellogg Eng (Kelly) Olson, Age 96, a resident of Presbyterian Homes Spring Park MN, died Dec. 18, 2011 in the presence of family. Preceded in death by his loving wife Maxine of 72 years. Survived by children, Richard Olson (Jan Keenen) of Boulder CO, Carol Ann (Don) Knutson of Wayzata MN, Bruce (Carol Rae) Olson of Minnetrista MN; grandchildren David (Karyn) Olson, Ed (Kim) Knutson, Ted (Lena) Knutson, Kate (Matt) Holstein, Ryan Olson, great-grandchildren Reily, Alexis, Cyan, Spencer, Megan Knutson, Devin, Andrew Olson, brother Keith (Catherine) Olson.

Kellogg was born Jan. 5, 1915 in Minneapolis. He and both of his younger twin brothers (Keith and Kermit) attended Minnehaha Academy. He was vice -president of his junior class and named "most dignified". His senior year he attended Pillsbury Military Academy in Owatonna MN. After graduation he started working for his father Eng Olson in the wholesale produce business (Eng Olson Fruit Company). He attended Macalester College for 2 years and returned to the family business. Kelly met Maxine in 1934 and they married in 1939. Upon his father's death in 1941 the company was sold and he became a produce buyer for Red Owl Food Stores. He later became a produce broker and in 1960 started his own company (Kellogg Company) headquartered in his home in St. Louis Park, MN. Potatoes were the Kellogg Company specialty and his customers included wholesalers, french fry and potato chip companies, canners and dehydrated products.

Through his business he developed many life long friendships. Bruce took over the business in 1980 allowing Kelly and Maxine to winter with many special friends in Naples, FL and summer at the Bay Lake cabin with Carol Ann's family, with visits from Dick's family. The Kellogg Company continues today under the ownership of a former customer. He loved spending time entertaining on his boats on Bay Lake, Lake Minnetonka, and the coast of Florida. He was an active Rotarian, Shriner, Mason and Jester. In later life he discovered the joys of his Mac (Apple) computer printing pictures, greeting cards, and staying connected through email.

We cannot say enough about his care and devotion to Maxine. He asked many times to be with his bride. He is with her now.

Special thanks to Eric and Wilmot of AgeWell Home Care and Joanie and her staff of Optage Home Care and Hospice Services for their tender loving care of Kellogg and Maxine.

In 1972, Vern and his friend Robert (Whip) Frovarp went into business together. What they lacked in capital they made up for in desire and wits. The Company they built, Kenko, was the first in the sewer and water business to perform public works contracts from the West coast to the East coast. At its peak Kenko employed 600 people and completed large public works contracts in twenty two separate states.

Vern McGrand was a man for the ages, a visionary, a risk taker and a humanitarian of the first order. Survivors include his loving children, Jeff, Jill and Scott McGrand and Kathy Barri; daughter-in-laws Patty and Laurie McGrand; grandchildren Robin (Ian) Pinegar, Nathan, Sena, Alexander, Tyler, Travis, Sam and Kendall McGrand, Mikey and Nellie Barri, Louis Belanger and David Hutsell; great-grandson Nolan Pinegar; brother Phillip (Jackie) McGrand; sisters Mary (Roger) Schibursky and Jeanie Born; sister-in-law Beverly (Richard) Hart; niece's Hally McGrand, Sloan Saba and numerous nephews and nieces.
