Elderly man missing in Walsall

[Starcoaster]

Could I ask everyone to please keep an eye out for this eldery gent:

 

 

His name is Sidney Edlin and he is missing from his home in Walsall. He is elderly and not in great health, and this will be his second night now with his whereabouts unknown.

He is known to enjoy walking along the Walsall canal in the Pleck/ Rough Wood area.

He is the grandfather of a friend of mine, and the family is very anxious for his wellbeing,

 

Local paper coverage (not much more info given, and he's actually 86 not 84): http://www.expressandstar.com/news/emergency-services/2015/04/04/missing-disappearance-of-walsall-man-84-sparks-police-search/

 

If seen please contact the police on 101, or message me with any queries for the family.

Thanks.

He looks like a proper 'gent' with his tie and cardigan...Hope he's found.
