The family of a man who has been missing for the past two weeks is appealing to the public to help find him.

Captain Bernard Burrows has been reported missing since his birthday on September 8.

According to his wife, Arnette Burrows, who has been married to Captain Burrows for the past 19 years, her husband was not a troublesome man.

The couple has two children.

"He never smoked or drank from we got married and he never bothered with drugs or anything and he never kept company," she told the Journal Sunday.

Mrs. Burrows said the last time she saw her husband was about 3am when she was trying to get him to go to the hospital.

Mrs. Burrows said her husband suffered a stroke and was recently admitted to Doctor?s Hospital.

"What happened was we came home and they had given him medication and a week after that he went crazy. We had to take him and put him up in Sandilands. We went back to Doctor?s Hospital and they told me that they can?t accept him because they don?t accept mental patients," she said.

"All of this I think had an affect on him."

She said her husband had a surgery about six years ago on his ears and he was never the same afterward.

"He start to have a twitching in his eye and I told the doctor something was wrong because he never used to have headaches and all of a sudden he had a headache and twitching in his eyes," Mrs. Burrows said.

She said that she noticed a change in him the Sunday before he disappeared.

"I was getting ready for church and I said to him ?are you going to church?? and he would not answer me so I said to him ?what happen?? and he said ?Nothing?. So I said Bernard, don?t tell me you are getting back to where you were. I said you can?t do this to us and when I looked again he was outside weeding and doing all kind of stuff and so I called the police and told them that I need help talking to my husband."

Mrs. Burrows said the police was at the couple?s home in less than ten minutes.

"It was five of them and they assisted in taking me to the hospital and then we went to Sandilands and the doctor who dealt with him before told me to take him home," she said.

She said it was the next morning that Captain Burrows went out the door and was not seen again.

"He told me that he was going to park my truck and then I said, ?you know what I need to carry me to the hospital? and that was the last time I saw him," Mrs. Burrows said.

"I think he knows that I was going to get him back into the hospital and he didn?t want to go through what he went through," she said.

Mrs. Burrows said that she feels that she should not have told him that she was going to carry him to the hospital.

"Now he is lost because I told him I was going to carry him to the hospital and he didn?t want to go to the hospital," she said.

Mrs. Burrows said she is afraid that Captain Burrows may have gotten amnesia.

"As far as he is concerned he doesn?t have a wife or children. He is not a bad person, but I don?t think he knows who we are and that?s why we are not locating him," she said.

That?s why we are letting everyone know and we are doing as much flyers as we can and we are going from house and house and each day we go a different route."
