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!"

Former Baltimore congressman and NAACP leader Kweisi Mfume said that in
addition to his role as chief executive at Parks, Haysbert was a
political adviser and community leader who became "synonymous with the
struggle for entrepreneurship among African Americans at a time when it
wasn't very popular."

Haysbert was also campaign treasurer for Sen. Harry Cole, the first
black state senator in Annapolis, and helped integrate Baltimore
politics by working to get Parks elected to the council in 1963.

Haysbert, who had suffered several heart attacks in recent years,
remained chairman of the Greater Baltimore Urban League until his death,
bringing the organization back from the brink of bankruptcy.

Born in Cincinnati, Haysbert worked for a coal company before joining
the Army Air Corps. He is survived by his wife and four children.

Brian Haysbert said his father always had time to help those trying to
start their own businesses, and taught him that "success is always tied
to someone else and not just to yourself."

"He always figured he didn't have enough time to get all he wanted
accomplished," said another son Reginald Haysbert, 62. "He was
terrifically motivated to make the world a better place."

Mayor Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake said in a statement that Haysbert's
death marked the end of an era.

"He remained active in his family business well into the time when he
should have been enjoying his retirement," the mayor said. "Mr. Haysbert
was a unique and dynamic man, and he will be missed."

Mfume remembered Haysbert inviting him to his home, where they discussed
his political future in a sunroom at the house overlooking Lake Montebello.

"There were a lot of people who sat in that house, there in the sun
room, who got lectures on life from Ray Haysbert," the former NAACP
president said. "When he pulled you in, you knew you were in an elite
class. Everybody wanted to be asked to be in that sunroom."

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.

greatness? The men of Krause. Cowards all.
