Missing Father in Law

My Father in law was last seen at home, 1pm this last Saturday (6/7). His wife thought he'd run to the store for something. He left his cell phone and wallet (something he often did) and no one knew where he was going.

He is an associate pastor of a local church and was preparing a presentation for a new security protocol to protect children in the church's care. He was also organizing his home office while waiting for files to convert.

He was last seen getting into his 2010 Grey Nissan Versa sedan. He has a pacemaker and an insulin pump (type 2 diabetes). He's 56 years old.

If you pray please add him to your prayers. And if you're trying to reach me on the forum, by phone or email and it seems I've dropped off the face of the earth, I'm probably still out searching. I'll get back to you sometime in the future. Sorry.

(Oh and his name is "Roy" not "Ray")

Prayers for finding him safe and sound.
Hope he is returned to his family soon.

Sorry to hear that. Have a colleague who is diabetic. He ended up in a bad car accident miles from his home with no idea how he got there or what he was doing. Luckily the accident was visible. Hope someone runs across your FIL.

Found dead. Probably natural causes.

Thanks for the prayers.

What? Oh No! I was at your house to pick up parts for my SDL and HE was the one who answered the door. Told me that you are on your way back.

I am soooo sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in peace...
