Gresham, Ore.— The Gresham Police Department is asking for help with locating 81-year-old William “Bill” Collins.   He was last seen at 4 p.m., leaving his care home with his walker, in the 1500 block of NE Hacienda Ave. Collins was wearing a red baseball cap, black and gray hooded jacket, black pants and black shoes. He is approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds.

Staff at Collins’ care home are concerned because he is an insulin dependent diabetic and is due for his medication. He is familiar with Trimet and may travel to Portland to get to the VA Hospital.

Anyone who knows of Collins' whereabouts is asked to call 911.
