Condolences, my Dad passed several years ago and all his tools from restoring British cars have a place of honor in my shop. Shiny tools were not his style. I have old screw drivers with wood handles duct taped together, but his attention to detail of the cars was awesome.
I can't help but get that warm feeling of his presence when I use some of the specialty tools he made and think about the hours he spent using them.
Save the things he used the most.
