Today marks the final day on the job for Osage County Public Works Director, Glen Tyson. After 50 years with the department, he is set for a well-deserved retirement. Tyson started with the Osage County Highway Department in 1971 as a Road Patrol Operator and spent the next five decades with the department, retiring as the Public Works Director. During his 50 years with the department, Tyson built bridges, drove dump trucks, laid asphalt and plowed snow. He became Road Supervisor in March 1998, then was promoted to Public Works Director in 2017.
A retirement ceremony was held for him last Friday. Colleagues say it just won’t be the same without Tyson around and they will miss him and the experience and knowledge he brings to the job.
Congratulations Glen from KOFO. Enjoy your retirement.
