Do a meritorious act in honor of Father

I know so little about Buddhism but I read this:
…..The Buddha says that the greatest gift one can confer on one's dead ancestors is to perform 'acts of merit' and to transfer these merits so acquired. He also says that those who give also receive the fruits of their deeds. The Buddha encouraged those who did good deeds such as offering alms to holy men, to transfer the merits which they received to their departed ones…….
… By doing meritorious deeds they can transfer the merits to their beloved ones for their well being. This is the best way of remembering and giving real honour to and perpetuating the names of the departed ones. It is, therefore, the duty of family members and relatives to remember their departed ones by transferring merit and by radiating loving kindness directly to them.

Dear all,
Whenever you do an act of good deed, no matter how big or small, let us think of Father (or Grandfather) and say a little prayer, whether we are a Buddhist, Christian or Catholic. Perhaps by saying that we would like to transfer our merits to Father in our prayers will help. But we can all do this: Do something nice for someone, give alms or do a meritorious or charitable act, think of Father or Grandfather, and do it because we know he has always guided us through this right path - do it in his name or honor and transfer your merit to him.
This is how we can honour him; remember all the kindness and goodness that was in him. Do it for papa, for ah kong, for ah chor................Chin
