OAK HARBOR - An 80-year old Carroll Township man suffering from Alzheimer's disease was reported missing last night, apparently leaving home in his car.

Police said Ralph Reif, who lives on North Toussaint Portage Road, was last seen about 1 p.m. yesterday when a florist made a delivery to his home. He wasn't there when his daughter, of Burgoon, Ohio, arrived to prepare his evening meal about 4:30 p.m.

The family car, a 1986 Oldsmobile, was gone. Mr. Reif has not driven since October.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Carroll Township police.
