Glenn was born the son of Albert and Anna (Johnson) Biggerstaff on May 9, 1940 in Vermillion, South Dakota.  He married the love of his life, Jeanne Huigens on January 7, 1961 in Sioux City. 

Glenn worked for Loe’s Market for several years before opening Glenn’s Gas and Groceries at the corner of West 4^th and Fawcett Streets which was a well-known business in Sioux City for many years.  He enjoyed handing out Tootsie Rolls to the kids who came to his station.  In his retirement years he enjoyed driving valet for the Argosy Casino.

Glenn was a lifelong member of St. Boniface parish and also a member of the Men’s Club.  He served as President of the Home School Association.    

Glenn was an avid Chicago Bears and Cubs fan but his true love was rooting for the Heelan Crusaders and any sports his grandchildren participated in.  He was a Hot Wheels collector and his passion was “the hunt” for cars everywhere he went.  He was a member of the local Sioux Diecast Club.

Glenn is survived by his wife, Jeanne Biggerstaff of Sioux City; daughters, Tracy Bates of Sioux City, Terry (Ted) Tastad of Sioux City, and Julie (Craig) Guenther of Arvada, Colorado; sister, Bonnie Rouse; 11 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.
