A man who spent most of his life satisfying local sweet teeth has died.
Bob Hiller ran the Rollin Pin Bakery in Janesville for 41 years, closing the business in 1999.
Hiller died Saturday at age 92. He hadnât baked for nearly a year, family members told The Gazette in February, saying Hillerâs heart problems made it impossible to continue.
Bob and his wife, Sandy, had sold cream puffs and other sweets at fairs for years, and they continued doing that after retirement, according to Gazette records.
Sandy died in 2007. Bob kept on baking. In recent years, he cut back to selling cookies five times a year on the weekends before Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Fourth of July and Valentineâs Day.
