Gary Lewis Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Several of you have reached out to me because you've missed Jim. As have I. Jim's last post was on Sept 18th. I've called him and had to leave a voice message. I've texted him, with no response. And I've emailed him, as have some of you. In the morning I'll put a card in the mail to him in the hope that I can reach him. But if any of you know anything about his whereabouts please let us know.

85lebaront2 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I just sent him a message too. This is strange, he's usually active from very early each day. He has a sister in Philly, but I have no idea of her name or how to reach her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people have been asking about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people have been asking about him. That's not good if he isn't answering anything. When/Should we escalate this into a well-being check? I don't remember his story and whether he lives alone or not, and whether he has anybody that would check on him locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know if he has anyone locally that would check on him. How do we go about doing a well-being check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we go about doing a well-being check? You request one through local law enforcement in his area. You basically explain the situation, give them the address, and they will send an officer or two out to verify his status. It is an absolute last ditch effort when you have exhausted all other possible options as some people may not be receptive to a well-being check. But it's one of those things where if something were to happen to him, you'll wish that you had done more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tolerable outcome when you apologize for acting on your concern, than the potentially devastating alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make it time for a well-being check? I'd sure hate to send them out and Jim not like it. But if you think I should I can call tomorrow and ask.

I'd sure hate to send them out and Jim not like it. But if you think I should I can call tomorrow and ask. I checked FTE for the heck of it, and he hadn't posted on there since June. I checked the member map, and there's not really anybody even close to him geographically that could swing by and see if the truck is in the driveway. Strange for him to not be on here for over a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
