SEVENTY-five-year-old Ulric Frank Lee of 287 Lamaha Gardens, Georgetown, has been reported missing; and relatives are appealing to anyone knowing of his whereabouts to make earliest contact with his daughter, Taiwo Lee, of the same address, or inform the nearest police station. Taiwo can be contacted on telephone numbers 618-5873, 231-0367, or cellular phone 668-4309.
The missing man is of Indian descent, is about 176 cm tall, is dark in complexion and is slimly built.
Taiwo said her father has Alzheimer’s Disease/dementia (which renders him forgetful), but stressed that he does not, in any way, look feeble.  Conversely, he appears to be able-bodied, has brisk strides, and is very strong.
“It’s difficult for us to catch up with him when he wants to go off on his walks,” Taiwo said.
She said her father left the home on the morning of Thursday, August 2, claiming that he was going to visit his relatives and would return. At the time, he was wearing a blue long sleeved shirt and a pair of khaki trousers. At the end of the day he did not return, but they thought he had overnighted at relatives either in Campbellville or Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, where he grew up.
However, the following day (Friday, August 3rd), Taiwo spotted him on Vlissengen Road, in the vicinity of Survival Supermarket. She was some distance away and could not immediately reach him, so she figured he was on his way home. He was wearing the same clothes, but there were no shoes on his feet.
The family waited, but the old man failed to show up.
Relatives mounted searches for him, but those yielded nothing. When it became clear that he was not at his known relatives, Taiwo made a report to the police, but he has not yet been located.
Recalling previous times when her father would go missing, Taiwo said she would make reports at the police station, and no sooner than she left the station and returned home, he would show up.
This time things seem grim, and the family is deeply troubled.
As the search progressed, she said, a family friend informed her that he had seen the old man one night walking along the Mandela Avenue Bridge aback of the Botanical Gardens, but he had also figured that Lee was going home to his Lamaha Gardens residence, some distance away.
Taiwo said that her father, who has a brain and memory condition, would very often call the names of dead relatives and say that he was going to visit them, or they would visit him. Very often he would go to Liliendaal; and on one occasion, he even attempted to reconnect to relatives in the cemetery.
The family is appealing to persons who may have seen him to please inform them of his whereabouts.
