QUEENS — An elderly Forest Hills man who's a retired firefighter suffering from dementia, was found Thursday morning after going missing nearly two days earlier, police said.

He appeared to be in good condition and was reunited with his family, police said.

Gorman, according to the NYPD said, had been reported missing before.
