If he still has his license in good standing, and his doctor has given him the "OK", it's going to be his decision.  I would express my care and concern for him flying alone, suggesting he bring a friend or other family member (?).  I would NOT mention his age.  
And you are blessed to have him, itsmee!   I have one aunt left, living nearby, who called my mom every day to check up on her (sister-in-law).  It is my hope to do nothing less than make that daily call to her (she has two daughters who can be more difficult than my sister and I).

Let him come for cry-yii-yi but encourage him to travel with someone else for “company”.  84 is a little long in the tooth for travel alone…...

He's healthy and no matter how old you are, under those circumstances, you don't "feel" old. He's brilliant so he can make good decisions. He probably makes all of his own decisions, all by himself.            :)

He must be fit enough, otherwise he would not be aloud to hold a licence. However, I think if I were you I would encourage him to bring someone with him just in case.

My mother-in-law ("woman hitler" juxtaposed) flies her own broom at 84. She doesn't even have a license. Bob/Pkb's answer is on-target. Have him check the weather forecast and proceed or not, accordingly.

Not a chance. Anyone over the age of 80 should let somebody else do the driving and flying. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Be glad to be alive.
