Someone I sort of know has been missing for a week.
He is older, retired, yet still very active and lives independently. Aside from some normal memory issues appropriate to his age, he is still cognitively "with it".
A Silver Alert was issued for him.
The transponder in his car last recorded him in a very unlikely place.
I am heartbroken for his family.
If you are so inclined, will you please send him some "find your way home" vibes?
Thanks.

I hope that he turns up safe, but I'd be very worried. Has anyone seen him at all ?

I actually saw a silver alert last week. Is it the same person? Hoping for a safe return.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I'm so sorry, GRG. I hope the gentleman is found, or finds his way home and that his family members don't have to suffer this fear for long.

Thank you for all of your good wishes.
However, I am very sad to say that this kind, brilliant man was found deceased this evening several hours from home.
The world is a sorrier place without him tonight. My thoughts and prayers are with his heartbroken family.

So sorry, GRG. 
Sometimes, people, even family, don't recognize when dementia is getting worse. |

ETA: And at least they found him. We have a local 76 year old woman who suffers from early dementia and has been missing for nearly two years.
