I EXPECT most people know now about the death of Roy Cook, 'Cookie' as most people will remember him.
To those people who did not know Roy, he was that little fat man who drove the town's sweeper.
I had the privilege of knowing Roy from the mid 1970s when he first worked on the landscaping, then when work ran out he transferred to cleansing.
Most people in Redditch would know Roy, he was always happy and would chat to anyone. Roy was one of Redditch's characters and will be sadly missed by all his friends.
If there is one way to describe Cookie, it is this - he was a small man with a big heart.
