This poor man. My stepmom (married my Dad after my Mom died quite young from cancer) had alzheimers. The ONLY person she could recognize was my Dad; had he passed before her it would have been devestating for her.

I hope he is found and brought home soon.

My heart hurts for this man and his family.

Sad update.

Nicolas Lestrer, who was reported missing on Thursday morning, was found dead on Friday.

His family says he died of a broken heart. Lestrer went missing the day after his wife of 53 years, who had been in hospice care battling cancer, died. He reportedly walked out of his house and that was the last time he was seen.
