There is no easy way to break that to your family. They are likely going to disapprove no matter how you tell them.

Now as for if you should be dating someone that much older than you, consider this: sometime in the near future, his health is likely to start failing. So you will probably end up taking care of an old man while you are still in your relative youth. And he will almost certainly be gone long before you are. If you think you can handle this, then by all means go ahead, but otherwise you may want to take a step back and think this through.
