Search for missing person in Le Roy

By Howard B. Owens

Firefighters from Le Roy and other volunteer fire companies along with local law enforcement are on scene at a residence on West Bergen Road, Le Roy, to search for a missing person. 

The scene is closed to all but search personnel. 

Stafford, Bergen and Pavilion have been dispatched. 

Gators from Alexander and Caledonia requested to the scene.

UPDATE 6:30 p.m.: The subject was located about 15 minutes ago. The elderly male, an Alzheimer's patient, was found by a neighbor dressed in his pajamas huddled and shivering on the floorboard of the neighbor's car. The neighbor was leaving for work. The search started around 12:30 a.m. with a K-9 unit after relatives reported the man missing. He had last been seen sometime between 11 p.m. and midnight. Later in the morning, Le Roy fire was called in, with mutual aid from at least eight other departments, according to Chief Tom Wood. The man was transported to UMMC for evaluation but other than feeling cold, he appeared to be in good condition, Woods said. The outcome could have been a lot different in harsher winter conditions, Woods noted.

I am SO glad this gentleman was found! After being my Mom's caregiver for 6 years, I was unable to keep her at home any longer and she now resides in the NYS Veteran's Home. I learned so much while taking care of her, and created a business earlier this year to help others cope with the safety and care issues related to caregiving. I don't know whether it is appropriate to post this here, but if you need help with the changes associated with becoming your elderly loved one's caregiver, there is little I haven't experienced. Please visit my Facebook page and read my "about" section to see how I might help you.
