Johnnie Darrel Glaspie

The funeral service will be in the Runge Mortuary Chapel on Monday, December 23, at 12:00pm with a visitation 2 hours prior. The burial will follow in Fairmount Cemetery.

John was born on July 3, 1954 in Iowa City to James and Marcella (Van Gorder) Glaspie. He graduated from Davenport West High School and went on to work for Long’s Manufacturing. He was united in marriage to Sylvia Kay Meador in 1975. They went on to enjoy 48 years of marriage and a loving family.

John loved to hunt and fish and spend time in the outdoors with his buddies, Darryl and Steve. When he wasn’t hunting he could be found working on cars. He was so handy that he earned the position as the maintenance guy for his mobile home community until his retirement in 2016. Even after retirement he could still be found helping family and friends, up on a roof, under a trailer, and even in garden beds.

Those left to cherish his memory include both of his children, Bobbie (Angela) and Brian (Sharyl) Wheeler; his three siblings, Red, Joe, and Betty Lou; his good friends, Darryl and Steve; four grandkids; six great grandkids; and three grand pups.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Sylvia; parents; and sister, Alice.

Memorials may be made to the family.
