'We haven't slept': Dozens of volunteers search for missing Delta senior
May 20 2020 rbbm.
''VANCOUVER -- As many as 200 volunteers have combed North Delta, looking for an elderly man with dementia who has now been missing for more than five days.
The problem, his family says, is he could be anywhere now.
Jarnail Sanghera, 88, went missing last Friday from his home near Nordel Way and 116th Street. Delta police say he was last seen on residential surveillance video at 11:30 a.m. that morning.''
''His grandson, Rajpal Faghura, said the whole family is extremely worried, adding that Sanghera is a caring, well-known member of the Delta community.
"We haven't slept for five days," Faghura said at the news conference.
"The kind of person he is, is someone you just want to sit with all day long. You just want to sit with him, you want to learn from him, you want to talk to him. He's very humorous, he's very kind … he always wants to hug you."
Along with dementia, Sanghera has diabetes and requires medication, leading to extra concern from his family members and investigators. ''
''Sanghera's family also provided an updated clothing description Tuesday, saying he was wearing a sky blue turban, a dark grey zip-up jacket over a plaid shirt, dark grey jogging pants with a white stripe outside both pant legs and black running shoes.
He also has a long grey beard and a tattoo of the Ek Onkar symbol on the back of his hand.
Anyone with information is asked to call Delta police's tip line at 604-946-4441. However, if the circumstances are urgent, they should call 911.''
