Just be cordial to the gentleman and dont engage in to much conversation. Do not divulge any personal information and remain professional. By you showing an interest in his well being, he may see this as an opportunity to attach to you. Less is best. Some of the advice here assumes that he may be senile, but often older gentlemen know what they are doing and play on people’s innocence and are hoping for some sympathy. Since your boss is not around that much, can you either call him or leave hima letter explaining the situation? Good luck.
