Tayside Police have said they are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of Mr Good, and have urged people to check their gardens for any sign of him.
Peter has lived with his parents for his whole life, and his mother Edith (78) said they have found it extremely difficult since Peter went missing.
She said: "I'd like to tell him to come home again – wherever he is. I just hope nothing has happened.
"I've no idea where he could be. We've been really worried about him. I don't know why he left."
Robert (75) said his son is a very friendly but private person, and said his being away from home for so long was unusual.
He said: "It's totally out of character for him He is a very nice person, but he just likes to be left alone."
Peter is described as five feet ten inches tall, of medium build and has brown eyes and grey hair.
When last seen he was wearing a navy blue anorak, light blue denim jeans and trainers.
Edith said that, shortly before he went missing, he said he was intending to visit the Job Centre at Castle Place, Montrose.

The Coastguard and an RAF helicopter have carried out searches of the local coastline and basin area and British Transport Police has undertaken a search of the railway line locally.
Montrose Inspector Iain Wales said: "We know that Peter enjoys walking, notably along the coast between Scurdy Ness and Boddin. He has also fished at rocks off Usan in the past.
"We are involved an extensive co-ordinated search for Peter and I would appeal for the public's assistance in our efforts to trace him.
"Local residents can assist by checking their gardens, garages, sheds and outbuildings for signs of any activity or anything untoward.
"If anyone has information they should contact us immediately on 0845 600 5705."
