Glen Lewis Sutton, was born on July 11, 1954 in Omaha NE to Lewis "Louie" and Virginia "Ginger" Sutton. Glen grew up in Omaha, graduating from Benson High School in 1973. Glen later met his wife Lynne Killion while playing a game of pool where Lynne beat him. They married on August 9, 1980 and just celebrated their 44th anniversary this year. Glen and Lynn welcomed their daughter Kelley in 1980, and their son Nick in 1984. They moved to Grand Island in 1986 and then to Doniphan in 1998.

Glen worked as a welder, and other odd trade jobs prior to going to Hulcher Services. There he started as a ground laborer and worked his way up to track-hoe operator. It is with Hulcher where he received the nickname "Grandpa" that has stuck ever since then. Glen loved that job meeting all the people throughout traveling over the years. Glen retired from Hulcher in July of 2020, only to find his dream job working at Platte River Harley Davidson until their closing in 2023, where after he worked as a parts runner for O'Rielly's of Grand Island. Glen's greatest joys were his love of his family, motorcycles, camping and his dogs.
