He is 1 inch taller then the legal definition of dwarfism, so I guess so.

His son is the giant of the family though, 5'5". Probably has to duck through ever doorway in the house.
I feel like I need to put something here, or else I am one of those weird people who think that having no signature is a character trait.

dwarfism isn't defined by height.

Dwarfism generally is defined as an adult height of 4 feet, 10 inches (147 cm) or less.

It literally is.

No, it's not.

https://www.webmd.com/children/dwarfism-causes-treatments

Its defined by the advocacy groups Little People of the World Organization (LPOTW) and Little People of America (LPA) as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or under, as a result of a medical or genetic condition .

If you're 4'10" or under and it's not the result of any diagnosable condition, you're not a dwarf, you're just short. Even your Mayo Clinic link includes this statement:

Short stature conditions don't include familial short stature short height that's thought of as a typical variation with typical bone development.

I'm the world's tallest midget

If I wasn't a midget I'd be 10 feet tall

And if I wasn't so tall I'd be 2 feet tall
