African-American business community leader, former Parks Sausage CEO
Haysbert dies at 90
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Raymond V. Haysbert Sr., whose Parks Sausage Co.
became the first black-owned business in the U.S. to go public in
1969,
has died at age 90.
He died Monday at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore after suffering
from congestive heart failure, his son Brian Haysbert said Tuesday.
Born in poverty, Haysbert later became a World War II fighter pilot
and
member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, serving in Africa and Italy
before
settling in Baltimore. There, he joined the company started by Henry
Parks that became well known throughout the Northeast by
advertisements
featuring a hungry boy asking, "More Parks Sausages, Mom, please!"
Wow...a black guy gets out of the military and is a man of significant
accomplishment...and our three white righties who were in the
military....flajim, herring, and bertbrain...are men of no
accomplishment.
What a man he was. So what's your story douchebag? Are you saying that
if you had only gone into the military, you too could have achieved
greatness? The men of Krause. Cowards all.
Wow, Harry posts a story about a man who wasn't a coward.
Right John. I think there's something to be learned by Harry telling the
story about a great man.
You don't hear stories about cowards that have done great things, do you?
Is that why you won't talk about what you did in the navy? You were a
coward? Figures.
You're getting as lame as plume. Pity; you were much sharper in years
gone by.
