That would be an "honoring father" or a "father who honors (someone else)".
You could also say, {vav qaquvmoH} "Father, I honor you." See for example,
reH no' yIquvmoH
Always honor your ancestors. (KGT 178)
and Okrand's untranslated dedication:
SoSwI' vavwI' je quvmoHjaj paqvam (KGT v.)
What you want is simply {vav quv} - short and to the point.
