Just tell your dad, this is God's plan. Pete will be waiting for him in heaven. That not one living thing gets out of here alive. I know where he is coming from. He is wanting God to take him, not us. God knows the time and place. I realize he is suffering, but God will not make him suffer. Just like He will not make us suffer when we have to go. He has lived a long and good life, serving you and yours, it may be time to let him go, God's way. I realize this is a little preachy, but this is what I believe. I have been thru this numerous times in my lifetime, and I always find it easier when I let Him take the lead. May God Bless you and yours.
