REMEMBERING DONALD ``BUDDY'' WRAY
(Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of
one of Arkansas' most treasured business leaders, Donald ``Buddy''
Wray.
Mr. Wray, the former president of Tyson Foods, in Springdale, died
late last month at the age of 78. Buddy spent more than 40 years with
Tyson Foods, growing and supporting good jobs in Arkansas.
Buddy was an avid hunter, an outdoorsman, and a proud fan of the
Arkansas Razorbacks. He spent much of his time helping our local
communities. In particular, he was an avid member of the Kiwanis Club
in Springdale.
Buddy's work and legacy has been recognized by numerous
organizations, and he was inducted into both the Arkansas Agriculture
Hall of Fame and the Business Hall of Fame. He has left a lasting
impact on our State and will be greatly missed by all of us.
I extend my respect, affection, and prayers to his many friends,
family, and loved ones.
