Shawnski, sorry to hear about your Dad.

Should he be a lover of music, may I suggest an i-pod as a present. My son and his wife gave me one for a Christmas present last year, and they downloaded a part of their collection of "old fogey" music from their i-pod on to mine. Last winter I slipped on some ice and broke my arm, and listening to the music during my difficult recovery was very comforting at the time. Perhaps you may have some of the music of the 50's, 60's and 70's, in digital form, that could be downloaded.

In the above posts, I also like the idea of a video montage, covering the highlights of his life, with music in the background, and maybe combined with a gathering of old friends and relatives, should he be up to it.

Hope this helps.
