Hi,

Resting tremors are classically seen in Parkinson's Disease which is also associated with memory problems and is common in his age. In my opinion, you should discuss his symptoms with his doctor who can then perform a few simple tests and make a diagnosis. There are medicines which are quite effective in this disease and there is no cause for worry.

Best wishes.
