Glenn Orcutt, Jr. was born August 13, 1949 at Davenport, Iowa. He was the son of Glenn and Marguerite (Adkins) Orcutt. Rusty received his early education in the rural schools of Wayne Township. He completed his education in the Monticello Community Schools graduating with the class of 1967. He was an avid wrestler while in high school and qualified for the State Tournament. Rusty continued his education at the University of Iowa for five years. He then started a farming partnership with his father, raising grain and hogs.

Rusty was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and often assisted Becky with her Sunday School Class as well as Cub Scouts, and Camp Fire. He was a 4 H leader for the Castle Grove Royal Rangers, and was active in the re-vitalization of the Monticello Swim Club. He loved to fish and hunt with his friends. He also enjoyed Iowa Football, his Labrador Retrievers, taking his family on vacation, marshmallow roasting and reading his little red bible. He would want to be remembered by his expression, We are defined by what we pass along to our children and grandchildren.
