Glenn Homandberg was born on March 28, 1936, to Arne and Agnes (Laugen) Homandberg. He graduated from Canton High School in 1954.
He married Evelyn McKenney on May 24, 1960, at Canton Lutheran Church. The couple farmed and raised livestock outside of Beloit, Iowa, until 1995 when they moved and began farming east of Leota. After semi-retiring, he moved to Lismore.
