Another thing, his procedural long-term memory is functioning well.
You have to distinguish between a few subtypes of long-term memory: episodic (for personal events), semantic (general information, facts, etc) or procedural (how to do things).

He doesn’t remember his wedding – his episodic memory is not functioning
He remembers how to play the piano – his procedural memory is fine
