Ivan Jay Kellogg, age 80 of Little Egg Harbor, NJ died peacefully and painlessly in his slepp after a brief illness on May 28, 2018. Ivan was born in Orange, NJ to Ivan L. Kellogg and Ruth Kellogg (nee Williams).
Ivan served in the US Army from 1959 to 1963 in Wurzburg, Germany. He loved Germany and toured it extensively.
