Police became increasingly concerned for Harold Lloyd after they discovered his glasses on the top of a six foot fence in an alleyway.
Mr Lloyd has early dementia and recently suffered a minor stroke for which he needs medication.
He left his home in the Welshwood Park area of Colchester for a walk around 6.40pm last night and had not been seen since.
A spokesman for Essex police said he was looking forward to being reunited with his wife because it is his 59th wedding anniversary.
