“We ask that if anyone saw John in a white inflatable kayak on that day or has seen him since to please contact the police.

As you can imagine, not knowing where he is or what has happened is very difficult and we would love to have some answers to bring him home.

John, if by any chance you see this, please call one of us.

“We love you and want you to come home.”
