I am glad he is happy in the memory of my GM's college/sorority life, as am I.

MS doesn't affect your brain and the part of you that can distinguish which is right or wrong, except in the very late stages, which if your brother was to that point I doubt he would be wearing a tie let alone a tie tack.
You do people with conditions such as MS NO sympathy by excusing behavior from them that would not be acceptable from others. As a matter of fact, it's pretty damned offensive. You're turning him into a condition to be pitied instead of a person.
And yes, I DO know what I'm talking about and I HAVE been through this with a family member.
