He was a real person? I thought he was some made-up character like Captain Birdseye or The Hamburgler.

At least he timed his death on Turkey Day (Thanksgiving)

RIP

I wonder, did they recover from the massive scandal a few years back?

Not had the stuff since childhood also, prefer none-processed chicken/turkey.

I swore i saw this name on a turkey slices packaging, R.I.P.

That's because they make turkey slices?

He never did bring Thanksgiving to the UK... maybe he faked his death to start up in the US secretly... for a new spice in life

Is fowl play suspected?

RIP Mr.Matthews.

I can't say I would regard his products as healthy and beneficial to, well anyone, (in fact I know they are not) - but I don't condemn the man. We all see the universe slightly differently to anyone else.

I feel for his family, who after all are grieving for a lost loved one.

Drive past Great Witchingham Hall on the way home everynight (the big house that used to be on their logo). He also used to come in the fish and chip shop i worked in years ago, his rolls royce would take up most of the car park, was him that would come in and get it didnt send his driver in though

So you of course never eat animals, as that's exactly what farmers do only they're less creative.

He was a clever businessman and, good or bad, his products were a way of life for millions.

is it wrong that rather than feeling for loss of the turkey man, reading this thread is just making me hungry?
