You may also consider going to GOG and finding some classics: Theme Hospital, SimCity 2000, Police Quest. Total War: Shogun 2 and Unity of Command also come to mind, though the jump from Threes to the latter could be a bit much. Turn-based strategy is a good call if that's the case. He'll probably want to get familiar with one or two and play them a lot, a la Threes. I'm just guessing (and only because this is true of my dad) that he isn't going to jump between a bunch of games.
Then again, I don't know your dad, and Civ might bore him to death. And though it's hard to do, it can be played in short sessions. You don't need to have played other turn based strategy games to get the concept it's like a board game, and the tooltips explain the rules and it's turn based, so there's no athletic mousery involved. That's a lot of great games, and 'casual' probably isn't the right word. Today, I think of any game that can be played in short sessions and doesn't demand a lot of familiarity with the genre or precision control. I used to think of Facebook games and the incessant notifications spawned from friends who think we might somehow connect over a mutual love of vegetables despite not talking for 10 years.
"Casual" has taken on a new meaning for me in the past few years. He has a pretty decent desktop I got him a couple years ago. all he plays right now are games on his phone, and I guess he could play casual games on PC, but I wanted to show him there's more than simple puzzle stuff (he likes Threes) without overwhelming him. Have a burning question about the smoke coming out of your PC? Send your problems to trying to find some games my retired dad might enjoy.
