My Father died in Dec. 2015. I received a check from his IRA. Do I did not receive a 1099 for that check. Do I have to pay income tax on that money.

Contact the payer to obtain the missing Form 1099-R that you must report on your tax return.  If this distribution from the IRA occurred in 2016, it's reportable on the 2016 tax return of the beneficiary.
