If you and your siblings are willing to put in the time, I'm sure if you called enough obscure relatives and old family friends, you may be able to put together a little collection of memories of him. If you do some digging, maybe somebody has a picture or recording or something that belonged to him.
I'd start by opening up the family address book and start asking around!
It is very sweet of you to want to be there for your Mom and celebrate with her. Even if you can't find anything, being there with her and celebrating his memory will mean a lot too. Talk and reminisce about him - sometimes just telling stories and taking a walk down memory lane can be wonderful too. Good luck!
