Your dad was a smart guy.
I'd go 9mm semiautomatic. They're relatively cheap, ammo is common and they have sufficient punch without getting really heavy/bulky. I'm fond of the Sig Sauer P226. Good heft, easy action and highly recommended.

I never recommend semi-auto's to beginners. A good solid revolver, is usually cheaper as well.
I love Ruger, not only because they are rugged, but economically priced for their value. Alsoplustoo - get a used one from a good gunshop, and you can't go wrong. The Ruger SP101 in .357 is a great starter gun and you can use .38 rounds to practice on the cheap. A decent used one should go for about $250.00
Simple, rugged, reliable, inexpensive.
