It may be age related issue. You try to be calm and behave maturely. As he has crossed 60, his behaviour changes are common in this range of age.

I think he may be frustrated due to his life situations. You need to remember that those who are angry are looking out for love, understanding and acceptance.

He would be getting angry for various reasons. At that age there are various losses connected to health, power, work, prestige etc. Such losses can make a person sad, angry, afraid etc. Counselling helps in such cases to help the person understand the changes happening with growing age and coping and managing with them more effectively without getting angry and aggressive. In your fathers case, both individual counselling to help him manage his anger and family therapy so that the family members can understand each other better and support each other when going through a rough time.
