Holding the Father Accountable After His Death for His Son's Shortcomings

Question
The father passed away believing that his son was committed to prayer and worship, while he was not. Will the father be punished in his grave for his son's shortcomings?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If he has fulfilled his duty in raising him and has not fallen short in that, then his child's actions later will not harm him, and God knows best.
