Based on that one sentence alone: Father was just as perfect as "someone," if not a little more perfect than than someone. The someone has to be determined by context, such as other sentences nearby.
"if not a little more so" = the speaker either implies or is leaving open the possibility that father was "a little more something [in this case, perfect] than someone else.
