Not to be the dark messenger.... but if you feel that his basic behavior is changing, it's worth having his doctor check for signs of dementia, even as early as 61. It could be something progressive, or he might have had a "silent stroke" that has affected him mentally, emotionally, or both.

See if you can talk to the doc and have him work that into the exam. Mention changes of behavior, forgetfulness, increasing irritability.
