The community knows him as the Icee Man. The big green van at the corner at every Saturday Market with his hand crafted sorbets. He's usually telling a bad dad joke, or haseling someone for a laugh.

His friends know him as Jeff, Squirrel, Jeseppee, Jeffreezze, or The Short Fat Italian Man. He has a huge heart, and this week his heart needed some help to keep going. 

After not feeling well and seeing his doctor it was discovered that his heart was 95% blocked. His doctors immediately saw the severity of the situation and sent him via flight for life to UCHealth Denver to have a double bypass surgery. 

The surgery went well, and we are beyond grateful to have him back with us. 

Unfortunately his insurance will not cover a majority of the costs and he has a long road to recovery ahead. We are asking for the support of the community, which he has dedicated his life to. He doesn't like to ask for help, and anyone who works with him knows he will probably do it himself in the end. This time, he needs our help. Any donation makes a huge difference. Thank you.
