His family is worried because his disappearance is out of character.

LeBrasseur was last seen on November 15th, at the Palace Bar on Skinner St. 

He does have significant medical issues, doesn’t drive and doesn’t have a cell phone.

It is possible LeBrasseur is in the Port Alberni, and the RCMP are on the look out for him.
