WHITFIELD COUNTY, Ga. — A man from Dalton, Georgia, is missing and police need help in finding him.
Steve Black, 70, was last seen Friday, Sept. 28, around noon, and family members are worried sick about him.
The Dalton Police Department said Black, who owns a flooring company, told his wife that he planned to travel to Tifton, Georgia, to make a flooring delivery.
Black drives a 1993 white Ford F250 extended cab long bed truck.
Channel 2's Lori Wilson spoke with Black's wife and daughter.
"He's loved by so many, but his family is very important to him, all of the family, and he would not put us through this. He would not," Mary Black told Channel 2 Action News.
The woman said the man she's loved for 42 years would never just leave his family wondering where he is, nor would he ever turn off his cellphone.

"It has been direct to voicemail ever since. No response on text, no anything," Mary Black said.
"All we know is that his phone seems to have never left Dalton. We don't know anything else," Steve and Mary Black's daughter, Stephanie, said.
Wilson went to police, who said they have very little to go on right now.
"He's a 70-year-old man. He might be in some kind of distress. He might be in some kind of danger, and whether or not that's the case, we just want to find him," said Bruce Frazier, with the Dalton Police Department.
Dalton police said they are working the case, and they are getting help from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
They've put information about Black and his vehicle into a statewide data system, so officers across the state can be on the lookout.
A flyer has been posted on social media and shared many times.
"We're so grateful for them, all of them. We know those prayers matter, and we're so grateful for them," Mary Black said.
His daughter said family, especially his 4-year-old granddaughter, is everything to her father.
"They have a really good, great relationship and she's starting to wonder where he is," Stephanie Black said.
