the saying "your father loves you very much" in italian is "Il vostro padre li ama molto"
actually, if he were to use "amare," he would say "Michele, tuo padre ti ama (molto)" Voi is plural, and you don't need to put the infinitive in front of possessive pronouns.
anyways though, what he actually says is, "Michael, tuo padre ti vuole ben assai, ben assai"
"volere qualcuno bene" is a way of expressing love, and ben assai simply means "a lot" and is often used with "ti voglio bene" or "ti voglio ben assai"
