Sorry to hear about your dad bc-chris. Cancer got my dad 5 years ago today actually, and if there is one thing I regret it's not having recordings of him. I think all I have is a 5 second video of him saying "hello" and that's it. Have him record birthday wishes, like another poster here said have a recording of him reading some kids books. Hell, if you can sit down with him and record him talking about his life as a kid, his favorite memories, funny stories of the trouble he would get up to, etc.
Five years doesn't seem that long, but things like how my dad sounded, how he walked, his goofy smile, the stories he told etc, are all slowly fading from memory...if the remaining time allows for it, try and preserve some of that....I sure as hell wish I did.
