(KNZA)--A Fairview truck stop employee, and a Brown County Sheriff's Deputy, are commended for their actions in assisting a missing, 86-year-old Nebraska man, and seeing him reunited with his daughter.

"A job well done" is given by Brown County Sheriff John Merchant to Deputy Peak and Tanya Rhyne, the TA Express Truck Stop employee who Merchant says "was concerned about an elderly person who appeared disoriented while driving in their parking lot."

Rhyne notified authorities, with Deputy Peak responding to the store around 2:00 Wednesday morning. Following a license plate search, Peak learned the vehicle belonged to someone in Lincoln, Nebraska; and, after Brown County Dispatch contacted the Lincoln Police Department, it was learned the man had been reported missing since Monday.

Peak then contacted the man's daughter, and, along with Rhyne, stayed with the man until 5:30 Wednesday morning, when the man's daughter arrived.
