Glenn was born on February 8, 1933 at Hooker, South Dakota to Gustave A. and Violet E. (Edblom) Johnson.
He attended local schools in Leavenworth, KS. Glenn was drafted into the US Army and served his country during the Korean conflict.
He found the love of his life when he met Shirley I. Moore (LHS Class of 1953) and they were married on June 12, 1955 in Leavenworth. From this marriage, five children were born, Scott, Steven, Susan, Sally and Sherry.
Glenn enjoyed hunting, fishing and working in his garden, but his main hobby, as he put it, was farming.
He worked as a job superintendent for DiCarlo Construction Co for 18 years, retiring in January of 1999. He also worked for Besel’s roofing and heating as a carpenter for 14 years.
He is survived by his children, Scott M. (Ann) Johnson of Lansing, Kansas, Steven P. Johnson of Nortonville, Kansas, Susan (Bernie) Proskovec, of Madrid, Nebraska, Sally A. Hargis, of Topeka, Kansas, and Sherry L. Brogan, of Winfield, Kansas; brother, Virgil O. Johnson, of Lansing; 11 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Shirley, brother Dwane A. Johnson and sister Joyce E. Beister.
