Do you have a good enough relationship with him that you can just...ask him? Approach him professionally and, if it's warranted, share the offer you have from the other firm. It sounds like he's more of a mentor for you than just a boss, and it's possible that he has plans for his office that include you. You'll never know if you don't ask.
Take the money and benefits. I’ve been in a similar boat with the loyalty I felt but once I left and really reflected like “wowwwww this person was really underpaying me with no benefits” I knew I did the right thing. It’s your future and you deserve to be well compensated.
Never - I repeat NEVER - feel like you owe your boss loyalty just because they hired you. I made that mistake in my first job out of law school and stayed far too long because my boss was dangling an imaginary carrot of partnership and constantly making me feel as if I were lucky to be there at all. I was underpaid and, frankly, emotionally abused. While it was happening, I felt she was a good mentor and that I owed her. My situation may be far different from yours. But the point still stands that you do NOT owe your employer loyalty. When times get tough, he would not hesitate to let you go - just like any other business.

Are you feeling guilty because he hired you and trained you? He also made a decent amount of money off of you. And perhaps he hired the new person anticipating that you would be leaving soon. Leave the nest! Don’t feel guilty. It’s time.
Ask your current firm for the raise/benefits. If they can't give them to you, it's time to leave.
