People who would tell you not to use your recorded audio to create more simulations of your father speaking are the same sort of folks with strong opinions about what other people do in the bedroom.
I happen to be someone who believes that it's wonderful your dad left you with this artifact. It was a touching sentiment then, and now it can serve his obvious purpose many times over.
He didn't record himself as a side-effect of disease, or because he loved that particular story in the sound of his voice. He wanted people in the future to be able to hear what he sounded like!
Given that he could not have foreseen voice cloning (and therefore not explicitly asked for it) I cannot think of a more obvious example of someone wanting their voice to survive them.
I wish more folks would record The Night Before Christmas.
