Only just picked up on this..

My sincere condolences to you and your family. It sounds like your dad's passing was just as it should be, and we should all be lucky enough to have something similar. Your tribute to your dad is very touching, and it's often only after something like this that we actually find out everything else about the person.

I used to do care work, and although I was never actually at a death, I was privileged enough to be involved in some palliative care work. All our hope was to be able to make our people as comfortable as was possible, and to take a little bit of the caring burden off the families at such a time, in the short periods we were visiting
