Glenn Dee Catlin was born January 24, 1935 in Harper, Kansas, son of Claude and Glenna (Newberry) Catlin.  He attended several country grade schools and Hazelton High School.  As a teenager he began working in his father's salvage yard.

On December 23, 1960, Dee was united in marriage with Sue Silcott in Alva, Oklahoma.  They made their home south of Attica, Kansas and were blessed with three children: Claud, Bonnie, and Tammie.

Dee was a hard worker his entire life.  In the late 50's Dee began working as a farm hand, and in 1960 began his own custom harvesting crew.  For 13 years he harvested from Texas to North Dakota.  In 1973, Dee and Sue retired from custom harvesting and began their own farming operation.  They raised cattle and Dee also hauled cattle for many farmers.  He also worked for the Hazelton Coop and Harper County.  His favorite hobbies were working on trucks and taking care of his animals, because with Dee it was all about work.

On February 11, 2024, Dee passed away at his farmhouse near Attica, Kansas, at the age of 89.  He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings: Arnold "Pete," Melvin, Geraldine, Imogene, Ruby, George, Connie Ruth, and Charles; and half-sister, Myrtle.
