The family of a missing 56-year-old Glen Cove man is asking for the community's help in locating him.
Nunzio Izzo was last seen getting into a yellow cab in front of a friend's home on Madeline Pl. in Glen Cove on Monday, Dec. 17. He had been visiting there, said his brother-in-law, Anthony Bocchino.
Izzo suffers from medical conditions including epilepsy and takes medication to prevent seizures.
Bocchino said possible destinations for Izzo are limited. He had a few regular haunts around town, and he isn't able to walk very far due to a condition affecting his feet. He relies on cabs because he can't drive.

"He's a creature of habit," Bocchino said. "Friend's house, Dunkin' Donuts, 7-Eleven, that's it."
Izzo lives with his mother and has a girlfiend in East Meadow, but she said she hasn't heard from him since Dec. 15.
Bocchino said the family is not aware of any reason why Izzo might have strayed from his beaten path. He's a "regular guy" who is friendly with area cab drivers who he has gotten to know from his movements around town.
Glen Cove and Nassau County Police have been working the case, and a Silver Alert was issued.
Bocchino said Izzo's iPhone was last picked up in the vicinity of Forest Ave. in Glen Cove on Dec. 18.
If you think you have seen Nunzio Izzo or have any other information, please contact Glen Cove Police at 516-676-1000, Lorenzo Izzo at 516-429-3204/516-676-0105 or Anthony Bocchino at 516-526-7723/516-759-2596.

So here it goes: when I go "looking" on a psychic level for this man, I see a bell. I'm not sure what that means. It could be he's near a church with a bell tower. It could be he's near the old CO on Brewster St (the bell I see looks a lot like the old logo for Bell Telephone). It could mean he's near the Taco Bell. But I went "looking" twice so far, and each time I clearly see a bell. I will work a little harder tonight and see what I can report back. I hope this helps. My best wishes to his family and friends. I never met him but he looks like such a nice guy.
Masses for his safe return should be held at St. Rocco's. He is not out of the woods yet. The nature and history of Saint Rocco will entreat whoever knows where he is now to treat him with compassion and see to his survival and medical needs. Consistent and patient prayers will help. Yes I know I am a very out Heathen but I can work with the Christian spirits and God, they know good from evil and they know where I'm coming from even if some people don't. :) The bell is a symbol, a memory trigger. Something about it will help him remember who he is. That's what I have, I wish it was more and I hope it helps. Again, best wishes to his family and friends.
You were right. People should not poo poo psychic abilities. He was found, not far away from Taco Bell. And there is a church on Dosoris Way. Thank you for your input.
Don't mock Eileen. She was spot on in what she saw psychically.
