I have been send this discreption to the local papers and news out lets.
Sunday 7/24/11 12:30 pm A family member named Jim Halaszyn (Pronounced Halashin) with a traumatic brain injury and short term memory loss walked away from his group home in Costa Mesa in the middle of the night,2 nights ago and is now missing. He takes anti- seizure meds 3 times daily. Without these meds he will probably have a grand mal seizure. He is confused and doesn't remember where he lives. He has no money with him. He does have I.D which reflects his old address In South Huntington Beach. The police in Orange county have been notified. There are no recent pictures of him. He is 60 years old, 5'11", Weighs 130. He has brown with some gray, thinning collar length hair. Gray beard. Sunken eyes. There is a large dent upper left side of his forehead due to brain surgery. He knows his name. He is wearing Levi's, an unknown color tee shirt,and old brown topsider shoes. He was last seen In the area near Fairview and Adams across from Orange Coast College. This is where his group home is located. Please could you put the word out his family is looking for him. If anyone sees him please contact the Costa Mesa Police Dept. Call Lucy at 949-720 -1887 or cel. 949-468-5557 for further information. Please help us find him. Thank you.
If you could let people know from the Alter during mass to keep an eye out for him, his son Alex and I would be forever grateful. We don't have any idea where he could have gone. Due to his brain injury we cant tell what he knows or remembers, but I believe he is lost now and can't find his way back. Please pray for him. I now live in Phoenix Az. but my family and the police have been out looking for him. If anyone sees him contact the police .

Geoff, I was actually on that call, and we were glad to see he got home.
You're a good man for posting this. I am glad this gentleman was found.
Rob, thanks for that. We're curious about the circumstances that contributed to him being located. It's very good news that he's safe now.
Danny Boy, thanks... a rare shift of gears here... felt kinda good. :-)
Kudos Geoff; and once again CMPD comes through.
"Community."
CMPD is a great organization and I am very glad was found safe. Rob Dimel is one of their finest. Great work.
I'm glad you posted this Geoff.
Geoff,Mr.Halaszyn was behind a commercial building and was disoriented. A concerned employee there called PD.
It worked out just right, as he was in the system as a missing person. Officer J. Johnson did all the hard work, and worked the phone to get in contact with the right folks. I just chatted with Jim, and we gave him a ride home.
Rob,
Thanks for the update. Yet another great collaboration by concerned citizens and the CMPD. Thanks for getting him home.
In our city racked with differences of opinions, torn by political aspirations of the men on city council, it is heart warming to hear that our citizens joined together to find this man before someething horrific happened to him. I appauld everyone and anyone who took part.
