Speak from your heart - tell him your favorite memories, honor the values he taught you, the wisdom he passed on to you etc.

Best advice? Keep it SHORT! : ) A few TY's, and on to the cake.

Hi Lauren,
How fortunate you are to still have your father. I'm not that far from being 80 myself, and I think a speech would not mean all that much to me personally, but a few nice memorable "thank-you's" from children would be just what I'd love to hear most.
"Thank you Dad for teaching me to save money". "Thank you Dad for teaching me to ride a bike"
That's what I think would mean the most. Make it as long as you like, and throw in the "life's values" that he taught to you, or maybe he was the cook in the family...or maybe he sat there and ate some of the first cake you baked without making a face...LOL Perhaps he taught you to pray or spell or helped you with multiplication tables as mine did. The "thank-you's" are yours and his own precious memories. Let him know you remember. You get the picture.
