Hi, Whisperdrone,

When do you capitalize father within a sentence?
He looked over with a grin. "Thank you, father."
* Should father be capitalized.

Yes, the word father should be capitalized as father is the person addressed here and is used as a proper noun.

What about if you are saying this:
"My father is a brave man."
* Capitalize father?

No, the word father is lowercase when it is a generic noun.

And also this example:
She clasped her hands and sighed. "Stay quiet, father said no talking"
* Capitalize father?

Yes, it should be capitalized as it is used as a proper noun.
