As a Franchise Attorney I can say the following. The written promissory note is not likely enforceable, but it appears it was a loan and therefore there is an obligation to repay. Your father could sue, claiming a number of theories - including an oral promissory note. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
