The blood pressure you quoted is very commonly seen in ppl as your father's age and nothing needs to be done as it is in the normal range. The lower 65 is not considered low. However good hydration may help. You may keep on a record of BP at times of day on different days to see a trend, if it is still going lower than this you may visit your doctor for complete patient examination
