This is usually the first sign of a urinary track infection. In a man that is 62, it could also be a sign of benign prostate hypertrophy or an enlarged prostate. These two possiblities go hand in hand because when the prostate enlarges it causes urinary retention which leads to infection. He should see a doctor.

This might mean that the man has a kidney either has stones in them or it can mean almost anything like prostate, bladder and urethral problems.

There are a number of causes. Some causes could be interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infection, or prostate problems. Some medications can cause bladder and urethra irritation as well.
