RIP Michael
Tributes have poured in after the sudden death of a beloved Mansfield ice cream man who served the area for 40 years. Michael Connolly, known widely as 'Mick the ice cream man', died of a heart attack on January 15, aged 68.
"He went out his way for everybody and was so loving. He had three grandchildren that he absolutely adored and did everything for."Michael, originally from Sunderland, aimed to be a primary school teacher after getting a degree from Sunderland Polytechnic . However his plans changed when he met his wife, Dawn, who lived in Worksop, with the pair eventually moving to Mansfield in the 1980s.
"He used to take parents' numbers and phone them to say he was coming round, particularly for autistic children to make sure they weren't alarmed." Michael was an avid football fan and supporter of Sunderland A.F.C, and died in his sleep at a hotel after watching the Black Cats play Swansea City.
