Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died yesterday of a severe
yeast infection. He was 71.
Known to friends as Brown-n-Serve, Fresh was an avid gardener and
tennis player. Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral
ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out including
Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Aunt Jemima,
Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Skippy. The graveside was
piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the
eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he was
kneaded."
Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled
with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie,
wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes -- conned by those who
buttered him up.
Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.
Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and
another bun in the oven. The funeral was held at 350 for about 20
minutes.
