Residents to take up search for missing Grimsby man

West Niagara residents are encouraged to take part Saturday morning in a search for a 72-year-old Grimsby man who has been missing for nearly a week. Wolfgang Glaser was last seen about 7 p.m. on June 21, leaving Teddy's on Main Street. 'He's been coming to Teddy's for over 30 years,' said restaurant owner Simon Duong, who is organizing the search. 'I have maps of Grimsby, Beamsville and Stoney Creek and I have broken (the search area) down into 200 quadrants and want to assign one person to each quadrant.' Duong said anyone wishing to help in the search should come to Teddy's at 9 a.m., where they will receive instructions and a map of their search area. As of Friday afternoon, Duong said he had about 50 volunteer searchers lined up, adding that number could grow to as many as 200 by Saturday morning. 'We'll take what we can get,' Duong said. 'My goal is to (have searchers) spend a half-hour driving around each quadrant.' For more information, see the Teddy's Facebook page. Niagara Regional Police said Glaser was reported missing Sunday, June 22. Grimsby resident Wolfgang Glaser is believed to have been driving this silver 2007 Mazda5 hatchback when he was last seen on June 21. Glaser's car was seen near the Niagara Gateway Information Centre on South Service Road near Casablanca Boulevard about 10 minutes after he left Teddy's. He is believed to be driving a silver 2007 Mazda5 hatchback with Ontario licence plate CPYA 061. Glaser is described as white, with brown/grey hair and white facial hair. He was wearing grey pants and a blue shirt with 'REDUCE, REUSE, RETHINK' printed on the back, and he uses a cane. 'If we can find his car, we can get a sense if he's around here,' said Duong, adding his staff told him Glaser appeared to be his typical self and did not show any signs of distress or problems before leaving the restaurant. Duong said Glaser talked about heading over to the Swiss Chalet restaurant on Windward Drive, north of the QEW, but there's no indication he went there. 'From what I know, he doesn't like highway driving,' said Duong. He said Glaser lives near the downtown area. 'He doesn't go far.' Duong said Glaser typically visits a pub on Ontario Street in Grimsby before heading over to Teddy's, where he would usually have a couple of drinks and then go home. 'This time, he didn't go home.' In a recent social media post, Alisha Rullo urged the public to help in Saturday's search. 'I plead with you to find my father,' she said. Meanwhile, police are asking anyone with information about Glaser's whereabouts to call them at 905-688-4111 .
