‘His memory is fading’: Family desperately seeks Vincent Che, missing North Vancouver father
"The family of a North Vancouver man who’s been missing since Tuesday morning is issuing a desperate plea for help.
Vincent Che was last seen in the driveway of his home in Lynn Valley on April 2 at around 10 a.m., North Vancouver RCMP said Wednesday.
Police have received at least one reliable tip that he may have been seen late Thursday morning in Upper Lynn Valley near Dempsey Road, and have asked residents to check their back yards.
North Shore Rescue and police have scoured the neighbourhood, trails and public places since then, but have found no sign of the 60 year old.
On Thursday, Che’s son Ricky said he’s especially concerned because of his father’s mental health.
“He does have some memory issues,” he said.
“His memory is fading. It’s coming in and out. He doesn’t usually wander off like this without contacting us.”

Possible Alzheimers patient, undiagnosed so far but his memory is fading they said.
Very close proximity to me, and other people have died in this canyon before as it has rapids and some pretty steep cliffs. Has been missing since April 2nd and they haven't been able to locate him in or around the park, where they expected he'd go. The only bus stop close to his house is very far away, so it's not IMPOSSIBLE that he could end up in Richmond or Vancouver.
His cellphone apparently pinged in Richmond, which would require several busses and/or train over two bridges or taking a sea bus and then train and bus. Really strange. Hope they will be able to locate their father. We don't have any silver alerts here, yet, unfortunately and some areas are quite ethnically homogeneous that I worry people wouldn't bother paying attention. I will be going on Saturday to do a small search myself of the park.
FYI - Lordan Arts on youtube does a good coverage of this story.
