Hello Clint from my own opinion I am suggesting that your father may has a disease called alzeimer disease following a gradual loss of memory so to rule other possible cause of lack of memory please send him for a CT scan of the brain meanwhile you can start him on tablet cognitol capsule gingkobiloba
