Whanganui Police are looking for a man with dementia missing from his Springvale home.
John Sklenars, 68, went missing between 6am and 8am today.
Mr Sklenars' dementia means he may be trying to visit Fordell where he originally lived.
He also likes boats and fishing and may visit areas such as wharfs and local fishing spots.
He left his property on foot, however police do not have a description of his clothing.
Police and Mr Sklenars' family are concerned for his welfare and urge anyone that has had contact with him, or seen him, to contact police. Anyone with information can call Constable Keith Thomson on (06) 213 4107.
