Sorry to hear of your loss. He made it to 93, and they don't build 'em that solid any more. My mom is 83, and you couldn't pin her down with a nail through the foot. They just don't build 'em that solid any more. I never wanted a warranty, I wanted to be built to last like they were!
The man had a hell of a life, and there is a degree of comfort in that. It's like I always tell my own son - I've already done everything I wanted to, so when my time comes, I'm ready for it, no unfinished business left to complete. It sounds like your dad may have been in that same boat - everything done, nothing left to do, so just enjoying the rewards of a life well lived while he still could.
He had a solid and eventful life, and for that I am glad for him.
RIP.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
