La Crosse Police are looking for a 63-year-old man they consider endangered.

Curt Grinde had phone contact with his family on Wednesday evening at 9 p.m.

He’d left his home in La Crosse at 3 p.m. riding a Super 73 electric bike.

The last place he might have been is along Houston County Highway 16 at the Pine Creek Bridge at 11:09 p.m. on Wednesday night.

Police ask the public in the La Crosse, La Crescent, and Hokah areas to keep an eye out for Grinde.

They’re concerned because he has health issues and doesn’t have his medication with him.

Grinde is described as 5-feet-10 tall, 270 pounds with long blonde hair.

He was last seen wearing a “Huk” brand multi-colored t-shirt and shorts. He may also have medical bandages on his legs.
