At funeral services this weekend for Johnsonville Sausage founder Ralph F. Stayer, mourners remembered the man - and his bratwurst.
His wife, Alice Stayer, insisted that her late husband’s services be a positive affair, a celebration of life. So about 650 family, friends and co-workers held a brat-fest yesterday in his memory. Stayer died in his sleep last week in Florida at the age of 92.
Stayer is informally credited with popularizing bratwurst across the country. His company’s brats are sold seasonally at some 4,000 McDonald’s nationwide and in 16 NFL stadiums.
