His knowledge of construction is of great value. Seriously, these are highly marketable skills and the work is all but impossible to outsource to some "offshore" locale. A young person could do a LOT worse for him- or herself than to go into the construction trades.
I mention this because I find that for beating depression nothing beats being of some practical value to other people. Perhaps your dad could find a way to share his knowledge with youngsters eager for it?
My dad is an introvert, so I don't know that he'd be up for sharing his knowledge with youngsters. That being said, he does spend a lot of time with his girlfriend's grandkids (all under the age of 8) so I'm hopeful he imparts some knowledge to them.
