My sympathy to your family. Your dad as I am sure you know better than anyone was a giant of a man in many ways. He was a great doctor and served many families of different areas over the years. I was a patient of his until he finally told me that I should think about going to FP doctor. I was a teenager and was totally crushed. We were all fortunate to have crossed paths with such a great man. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have in your head and hearts.
