    School year books, old local papers, maybe the school has a website with old photos, most towns/ schools have a facebook group that you could contact, old boys association.
    There may be issues regarding privacy/data sharing though.

      If you are on Facebook you can join local groups and some are historically based groups.
      Often you come across pictures of people or actually find people you knew years ago.

        For someone so close in the family try his Uncles/Aunts, cousins etc. Are his parents still around? If not think of which relative is likely to have inherited family albums.
