What a blessing.  I hope he is safe and well and gets whatever help he may need.

Very happy he has been found safe!!  Let's hope he can be kept safe this winter; I realize how hard it is to care for those who have the memory loss as I have experienced within my own family & in those close to me  but there needs to be a way to keep him safer yet still with dignity & freedom.

This is great news for the community and especially his family.
My hat is off to the VSP for a job well done. Awesome job to all involved!

I heard from this man's niece that he passed away a few months back. Apparently related to frostbite from his time missing and out in the cold.
