I am sorry for your loss. You can keep his memory alive by hanging a picture of him in your home. You can put something that was his on display.

My mind does it for my dad.

When someone you care about dies the best way is to just remember them in your own mind. Try to think about the good things and the happy times and they will stay there forever. Think of their passing in a good light and don't let it get you down. Dying is a part of life in the natural order of things. For those who care, they will do the same for those who don't erecting the biggest monument will not change that.

If he's always in your heart, his memory will always live. I have a son that was born 3 years after my dad passed away and you would never know that he never met him. He knows everything about my dad because we talked about him so much, the memories of him will even live on after I'm gone! Sorry you lost your dad, I know how difficult that is.
-
Remember who he was and what he stood for and keep that in your heart.Think of how he has impacted your life; what he gave you physically and more importantly emotionally that makes you who you are.
-
Just keep him in mind. In situations remember the wise words he gave to you. If you have any items make them into a piece of jewlry or something. Write down special memories you had of him and store it away for rememberance on anniversarys...ya know anything. But the truth is, since you knew him, loved him...and he will always be a part of you, his memory will never die.
-
Keep him in your mind and share everything with his photo!
-
only in your heart and mind..... you can remember times and likenesses of him with pictures and stories....of how and who he was....

I'm sorry about your loss. Some suggestions to keep his memory alive are: 1. Write a letter to your Dad, describing all the good memories and things that you miss about him. You can write it in a journal or letter and read it once in a while. 2. Continue to do the things that you and your Dad used to do, and every time you do it, you can think about him. 3. You can talk about him with your family members (like your Mom or siblings) and maybe have dinner all together once every week to keep the family close. Nothing is as important as keeping his kids together. Good luck.

My mother passed away many years ago and I've never had a problem of not being able to keep her memory alive. I think of her every day no matter how busy or hectic my life might become. I've been through the ringer and then some with my life since then..arrested, addiction, divorce, etc and she's always been there irrespective of whatever else might be causing me pain. I don't need shrines or plaques or other crap to remember my mom or dad.
-
Plant a tree or a series of trees better still.As they grow so will your remembrance. Choose the tree wisely to suit the personality of the parent.
-
make a scrapbook of memories - jokes he liked, things he used to say a lot - tv programmes he watched, memories of times you shared together etc.

.. by being you.

you could do what i'm doing for my grandfather. He loved popeye and i'm getting a tattoo of his sailor hat and pipe with his dob and dod.
-
the only sure way... in your thoughts and in your heart!
-
A small shrine in the corner of the living room works wonders. Also, you can have his remains cremated and compressed into diamonds and put on an heirloom.
-
There are plenty of other fish in... oh wait that doesn't apply here. Do what he would have wanted you to do. Enjoy life, live as if you'll die tomorrow. Enjoy everything, and finally get off of answer bag, go outside, and DO something worthwhile. Climb mountains, admire scenery, spend some relaxed time fishing. Live your life to its fullest. Its what he would have wanted.
-
get a totto in his momory. i'm not telling you to do it but it is a good alternative, it helps for many people who had someone who passed away. then you always have something with you that tells everyone that he was a good dad and you will be remind of that every day. :)
-
you should pick a time or place that you allow the memories to wash over you and visit often.

i am sorry for the death of your father. there are some great ideas here...if you do a scrapbook, remember it doesn't have to stop with commemorating/documenting his life or his life with you but it can go on to continue momentoes of all the things you would have shared with him. you don't have to limit it to photos either...you can put a swatch of his favorite shirt in there or his favorite recipe...wise bits of wisdom that he gave you. i don't know how old you are but if you haven't gotten married or had children yet, his scrapbook would be a cool place to add photos of these memorable events and you could put captions with them with what you think your dad would have thought or said about the events.

I am sorry for your loss. My father passed away recently as well, and I planted a gorgeous vine that constantly produces the most beautiful flowers out on our patio. It is a rememberance of life for me.
-
When and if it happens, name a child after him.
-
The saying in my family as my dad told me when my mom died is that you keep the past alive by the memories you keep which is why important people are the only immortal ones. This just means to keep people close to your heart and remember them an easy way to adjust it build something for them whether it is a photo album a mesh of pictures to add simbilizim to the whole thing but there will still be those certain days that are more sensitive than others after 6 years I still cry on certain days I am sorry for your loss please keep their memories close

I recently found a company that will make a diamond from either the ashes or the hair of the deceased person or animal. To me, it would be a very unique way to keep a small part of that loved one with you at all times, in the form of a diamond ring, necklace, earring, etc. Several small diamonds can be made, or a few larger ones, to distribute to family members. The company takes some of the ashes from a cremation, or the same amount of hair that would be collected from a regular man's haircut, and through a process they use they extract carbon. That carbon is used to create the diamond. A part of my job at the hospital is city morgue duty, and I have told several funeral directors who come for their clients about this. They were impressed and wanted the printed information to give to the grieving families to consider. This is one of the company's websites that I found. http://www.lifegem.com/
