If the stamp had stated leave to enter for six months (see example below), he could have remained for six months from the date of entry, but it doesn't, as is usual with entry stamps for long-term visit visas.

Hi, My friends father has Visit Visa valid until 15th of May 2012, it was five years multiple visa, however his last entry into UK was 29th January 2012, my understanding is that he has 6 months to stay from 29th January 2012.
