A Neptune Beach man has been missing for six days now and those closest to him are asking for help finding him.
It’s been nearly a week since anyone has seen or heard from Timothy Hapsis.
As Neptune Beach police continue to investigate, the concern of family and friends continues to grow.
Action News Jax’s Courtney Cole spoke to one of his former co-workers at Mojo Kitchen in Jacksonville Beach.
While it’s been a little less than a year since Timothy Hapsis worked at Mojo Kitchen in Jacksonville Beach, manager Perry Andrews told Action News Jax he still remembers him.
“Timothy is a good guy, always here, ready to work," Andrews said.
Andrews says he got to know him well when they were working together.
This is the latest from Neptune Beach PD. Right now I’m working to get in contact with family and friends of Hapsis for @ActionNewsJax at 5. https://t.co/hZFFPZ4M3K

“Everyone’s pretty close-knit here," Andrews said.
He says he could hardly believe it when he found out Hapsis was missing.
“Shocked. I found out about it on Facebook. From a mutual friend. Speechless. I don’t really know what to say,” Andrews said.
But Neptune Beach police are encouraging anyone with information to speak up right away.
He was last seen on March 28 in a beige four-door Kia sedan.
The tag on the car is: 697-YGY.
Police say the investigation remains active. His friends just hope someone comes forward soon.
“Of course, we’re all concerned. We’re all concerned. Everybody that knew him wants him to be found safe. Soon,” Andrews said.
Courtney Cole spoke to a friend who grew up with Hapsis who told her, while he was never too attached to his cellphone, he knew something wasn’t right when he found out Hapsis didn’t pick up his child on Easter Sunday.
Neptune Beach police say the case remains open and active.
