The Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing 91-year-old man who was last seen this morning on Vancouver’s Westside.

Edmond Marks, who is partially blind and suffers from dementia, left his home today at around 9 a.m., near Cambie Street and 10th Avenue. Mr. Marks has not been seen or heard from since.  It is unusual for him to be gone for this long.

Mr. Marks walks with a silver cane, and is known to head to local grocery stores and shops near his home. He is white, 5’4″ tall, with a slim build, and short grey hair. Mr. Marks was last seen carrying a black canvass bag and wearing a black jacket, black pants, tan-yellow shoes, glasses, and a black cap.

Anyone who sees Edmond Marks is asked to call 9-1-1 and stay with him until first responders arrive.
