Report him the heck to the person who assigned the officials for the tournament. How hard is that? At least you won't have to work with him again in an AAU tournament.

I don't think I can be concerned with what else might be wrong in his life. He accepted the assignment. It's up to him to handle it professionally.

Gotta jump in here a bit.
I've been in a sticky situation before. In our association, if you need a replacement and it's before 7 days before the game, you need to find your own replacement. Our local board assignor will always help you, and in some cases, find someone for you.
During large tournaments, finding a replacement is near impossible. I've had to referee during a morning where I've had visitations for someone close to me later that afternoon and evening. There's no way to handle this professionally, other than to go to your assignment and do the best you can. If anyone else expects different, they are expecting too much; from me anyways.
I firmly support in finding out why.
