He almost certainly was not thus called by his own father.

He couldn't remember the last time his father had called him by name.

My father did think about me and just didn't call for whatever reason.

I found out when the father called to thank me.

My father calls to ask if we are still having the game that night because he wants to come.

His father hadn't called him that in a long time.

This was the place his father and mother called home.

But my father could never call it home, not after he came out to the East.

My father would call every night, even if he'd been to visit.

The father called and wanted to hear all about it.
