What Causes Confusion And Memory Loss?

My husband has recently had two occasions in which he has experienced confusion in reading information on his work computer--not understanding the information given him. He also absolutely forgot his sending a long text he sent our son on his birthday--he did not remember sending it at all. My husband is 61 yrs old and in pretty good health. Has never smoked or drank alcohol, has never taken drugs.
