EVERETT— A missing man suffering from dementia and a heart condition was found safe and warm Tuesday morning.

Jerry Vesseli walked away from his group home in south Everett Monday morning, telling an employee he was going to walk to the end of the block and come back.

The 56-year-old was found at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the corner of 41st Street and Broadway, a few blocks from the spot he was last seen pacing up and down the street. He was returned to the group home where he lives.
