I don't know what you think of these songs, but Kenny Rogers' "Through the
Years" would be VERY appropriate, and, of course, Frank Sinatra's war horse
"My Way" is always a crowd pleaser. Especially if you rewrite some of the
lyrics to reflect people and things your Dad has experienced through his
life. You could also try "When I'm 64" by the Beatles and make it "When I'm
65" or some such thing.
