Don Tyson

WE LOVE YOU

I met Don when he came to visit Link Locket in Bali 1975/76? I only knew him for 2 weeks but I never forgot what a nice man he was we need more like him.
saddened to hear of his passing. Alan Musgrove Jimbaran Bali.

My dad retired from Tyson's after 26 years and I remember when he first bought the plant in clarksville Arkansas, it was a very small town that he helped grow, ppl didn't have much but he came in and paid a very fair wage and oh the parties he had for the families of the workers was like a giant carnival that all of us kids that had never had much so enjoyed! I worked for him a short time after high-school and met him which I had met him when I was small too and he was so pleasant and down to...

I was pleased and proud that Mr. Don Tyson liked my watercolor painting
to purchase it and hang in his corporate office. It was of a prizewinning rooster, matted and framed and ready to hang. I won a blue ribbon for it;
I don't think I mentioned it in my description. ..... I was very saddened to
hear of his death a few weeks ago. Bryna Wities, San Diego, CA..

Don,was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.I was fortunate to have worked for Don.He helped me in many ways and my family and I have a better life because of him.Hopefully the company will continue to follow Don's principles,He made everyone feel special.Don would do anything to help you and was a great teacher and leader.He will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

We have the fondest memories of Don in Cairns Marlin Fishing, which was one of his favourite hobbies. Don was such a wonderful man, very kind and generious, always wanting to put on a great party for his friends. Every year Don would come to my restaurant 'Tawnys on the Jetty' every year he was fishing. The whole Game Fishing Industry of Australia has lost a true friend.

fondest wishes

In an art class in San Diego, we were given an assignmnt of painting a rooster.Then I thought someone in the business might like it hanging in their corporate office. I sent a covering letter and photo of it.Mr Tyson's secretary called to say he'd buy it.I was overjoyed to know that someone of Mr. Tyson's status would like my art. It is a good memory for me. May he rest in peace.

Several years ago my connecting flight in Dallas to NWA was delayed. I sat beside a man who was waiting on the same flight as I and we proceeded to have some idol conversation. I shared that I had been to Florida visiting my parents and was returning home to Bentonville. He commented that he loved northwest Arkansas and stayed busy raising a few chickens. About twenty or so minutes into our varied conversation, several well dressed businessmen approached, hands extended, voiced a...
