Glenn William Calhoun, Jr., 81 of Hope, AR passed away Sunday, September 22, 2024. Glenn was born April 8, 1943 to Glenn and Thelma (Delaney) Calhoun, the youngest of two children. He graduated with the Class of 1961 of Hope, Arkansas and went to Panola College in Carthage, Texas to play basketball. He owned Glenn Calhoun Plumbing Company licensed in Arkansas and Texas.

Glenn's passions were flying airplanes, hunting, and his Harley's. His passion for flying airplanes led to his flying field and opening of the Hope Hobby Barn. It was always open to family and friends, old and new. He was a proud fan and supporter of all ballgames.
