More details to this question:
My dad is 51 had 2 heart attacks. His boss knows this. He was employed when it happened. My dad's boss fired him for 2 reasons. 1) That he can't work at the same pace as the others (they are half his age) and 2) Because a few days ago, they were really busy and he made a statement in general not to his boss. That he hated when there were cars showing up back to back like that and that it's been busy all day. Can he fire him on these reasons?

If he was an employee at will he could be terminated for no reason at all. There might be a very slight possibility of an age discrimination claim.
