Ya, its pretty hard to give advice on what to do with money if the person with it doesn't share what he wants to do with it.
If he wants to pass it on, I'd imagine the first thing he should do is start maxing out his annual gifting exemption.

annual gifting exemption
for sure this
If he's solely looking for income though, just buy some high dividend stocks. For short term it makes sense if he doesn't care what happens to principle investment.

depends, is the amount he has less than than 5 million threshold for estate taxes, if so keep his money and let the kids or whoever fight it out after he is dead and gone and for sure will not need it any more
I agree with above, just keep it in CD's, at his age he needs no risk, and making extra money is not going to really benefit him, play it safe
