I used to send my Uncle a bundle of clippings and things I found on the net, I thought he'd be interested in, a couple of times a month. After he died at Christmas, I've continued to send a bundle to my aunt of things tailored more to her taste.
In her letters she has thanked me profusely and has sent me newspaper clippings like he used to do. She appreciates the continuity and something to keep her busy, being alone for the first time in over 50 years.
Lookout, I'd suggest you make an effort to make sure he understands he's still welcome to visit. Sometimes people gobsmacked like this feel EVERYTHING is changed and don't know exactly what they can/should do.
