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.
Described as "kind and loving" by one of his four children, Emma Spencer, Michael was said to have "gone out of his way for everybody". Ms Spencer, a 33-year-old gymnastics instructor who lives in Creswell, told Nottinghamshire Live: "He was so kind, he'd do anything for anybody, nothing was too much trouble.
"He went out his way for everybody and was so loving. He had three grandchildren that he absolutely adored and did everything for."
