O Rly?
We may have different views of "just as humid". Or perhaps we can let the facts speak for themselves.
We can also look at Atlanta where the OP lives currently.
Nope, Dayton isn't nearly as humid on average as those locations in the south.

I do find it funny when I head back there and people complain about the heat. Everyone is sweating, looking for a fan and my wife and I just sit there laughing as it feels so cool

I mean Dayton Ohio
I have zero problem moving North, but If I'm leaving the south, it's going to be for a better quality of life, and Dayton Ohio wouldn't be what I would consider a better quality of life.
Money can't buy happiness when you live in a pit.

It's funny. Everyone complains about the weather everywhere. My, I'd like to live in a place that's 70 to 80 during the day and high 50's at night. Looks like San Diego is in my future.

What do you know about Dayton and the surrounding area? I mean, Dayton isn't a great city but there's a multitude of places he can live nearby. Land is readily available and if you're into hunting and fishing they do that up north as well.
People are so dumb about the U.S. There are many great places to live and raise a family and most of them don't involve living in a city.

What I would do:
1. Take over business and move to Ohio
2. Invest heavily with a focus on increasing sales
3. Sell after 5 years
4. Move the frick out of Ohio

It's true.
Most places have a redeeming part of the year where the weather is nice, and when the shitty part of the year comes (whether that's winter in the north or summer in the south) all people do is complain. And very few places have year-round "perfect" weather (like San Diego), but then those people complain about how they don't have "seasons."

North aint a place Newt, it's a direction.

I know enough to know it's not a step up in quality of life from where I live at present, and if I'm making a life move it will be for a significantly better place or I'll just stay with the devil I know.

Oh no! The north?! Good heavens. Prayers sent...

That's fair and that's what most people do. They live where they grew up because they're comfortable there. 
However, there's also an opportunity here that has to be weighed. He's not just moving there. There is a family business in place for him to take over that could yield a huge reward in the future.
The primary thing I'd be looking at as the business seems to be on firm financial ground is what his equity position will be and what control will he have over operations and the sale of the company if and when he wants to sell.

One is miserable 13% of the time in the summer.
One is miserable 28% of the time in the summer
Then you have 100% miserable in winter
Compared to 10%? miserable in winter
Thanks for helping my argument bubba

You may think it's none of your business, but you should know their personal financial situation & where they stand for retirement. What's their net worth, debt, etc.
I dont know their entire portfolio, but they are very comfortable and have zero debt(mortagage, car payments, etc...)
Money isnt a big issue for them. They just dont want to essentially give the company away for pennies on the dollar since its essentially part my inheritance(almost verbatim quote, one sibling who wont get/take money since she is worth $$$)

Again, I don't know you, them, or your relationship w/ them, but you'd better be clear on where you stand with them. How well do you know them?
We are good

But are you saying you've been there a lot or a little? I don't quite follow the "20 minutes" statement.
A little, I recently took my daughter and wife there for the first time(Ive been with my wife for 17 years), that was also the first time I had been there since probably high school. just to give you an idea

They don't want to see their business die. If they started it from birth, they're tied to it emotionally, much like one would a child. I'm serious, if they started from scratch & made it a huge success, can they really let go & leave you alone?
started by my grandpa in the 40's but the company evolved from another started by my Great, great grandpa in the 1800's. They dont want to see it fizzle out, but they are done with it.

Sounds like a good opportunity. I moved to Minnesota some years ago for a job. I wouldn't go back unless I could probably triple my salary. Dayton wouldn't be so bad, I'd move for a double.
