The symptoms are suggestive of Parkinson's Disease. Other symptoms include micrographia (small and illegible writing due to the tremor) and a shuffling gait.
This condition involves a deficiency of dopamine in the basal ganglia of the brain.
Hope that helps!
Cheers!

I don't know what part of the brain is involved, it could be Parkinson's disease, or a stroke. If he hasn't been to the dr. to find out the problem source, he needs to go asap.
