My wife and I have been doing cat rescues since before we got married in 1983 and while the course you're taking isn't easy, in our experiences with the elderly or sick passing. Keep an eye on him and, from our experience, he'll let you know when it's time.
Just keep him as comfy as he'll let you and hopefully he'll let you touch or snuggle before he goes.
That's how we've done it and most of the time they have passed on our arms, on a lap, or on our bed as we laid with them.
To clarify, when they were in too much pain or the quality of life had greatly diminished, we did make the final trip to the vet. Look into seeing if the vet will give you a sedative to give him if you have to take him there.
I could go on and on but that's not what you need. Besides it's so hard to type on this phone with such small letters and looking through the tears.
A final thought.
Watch his eyes. I believe, of most of the animals I've ever had dealings with(humans included)a felines eyes, do allow to see who they are and how they feel. (Those Egyptians weren't stupid.)
Prayers and hugs to you both
