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. He

enjoyed being prodded by his many friends who invariably poked fun at

him.

Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and another

bun in the oven.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
