Mr. Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was
filled with turnovers. He was not considered a smart cookie, and
wasted much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a
crusty old man, he was a roll model to millions. Fresh is
survived by his second wife. They had two children and one in
the oven.
