Johnny Earl Glendinning, 76, passed away peacefully at his home in Whitesboro, Texas, on October 16, 2022.  Johnny was born on April 28, 1946, in Caddo, Oklahoma to William Arthur and Mary Virginia (Herod) Glendinning. John married Geraldine Capehart on July 1, 1965, in Gainesville, Texas. He began his early career driving trucks for companies such as Joe Brown and Bacon Transport and that was his true passion. He also worked with his father-in-law, Albert, at the sale barn for many years. He enjoyed many jobs in his life, such as roofing sales and warehouse foreman for Dallas-Ft Worth and Ft. Worth Roofing but finished out his career driving a truck.  John's love for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren was apparent in all the times he was there for them.  He also loved spending time with his one true love, Geraldine, who he enjoyed long drives with and watching their beloved OU Sooners. He would not shy away however, from talking about his favorite pro football teams, the Washington Redskins and Pittsburgh Steelers. He enjoyed westerns and action movies.
