Sorry for you loss, Weezy. I'm sure every time your dad saw those items he remembered the times he had with you when you were young. Keep them and cherish them.
It was my father who got me to become a Bengals fan, although he wasn't a Bengals fan per se. He coached the "Bengals" for 15 years in the local youth football league in the town I grew up in New Jersey. I was the mascot during the years before I was old enough to play myself. I got some Bengals jerseys and "swag" while being mascot and thus, became a fan at 3 years old. 45 years later, still a fan. He passed away four years ago (**** you pancreatic cancer!) but I can still vividly see and hear him coaching up his old Bengal teams from the sidelines even today.
