Kelowna RCMP are currently looking for a 76-year-old male with Alzheimers disease who went missing around 2 p.m. today.

Sgt. Ann Morrison says Henry Funk's wife went into the grocery store in the Plaza 33 shopping center in Rutland. When she returned 30 minutes later, her husband was gone. Funk has moderate Alzheimers and will not likely find his way back home.

He is 5'10' tall, 180 pounds, white hair, wearing a navy blue jacket, blue pants, with a black hat.

If you have any information, please call Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
