If I found pictures of my loved ones having sex, yes it would be a shocker, but it's not any more shocking than knowing that they eat and take a shit, meaning that having sex is part of it. It's living in denial that they never did such actions. Yes, it would suck to stumble upon the pictures, especially after they passed on.
2 years ago, I'd probably done like you. 2 years later, today in my life, I'd have given him all of the pictures. It's not for me to interpret them for him, sex or drug use.

I think giving him the third roll would have been the WORST thing to do to that father. Think of it from his point of view, he tells you not to give him pictures of his princess if they are ones he wouldn't want to see... so you hand him a bunch of pictures of her having sex and doing drugs, then you ALSO tell him there was a roll that mysteriously couldn't be developed. Could you IMAGINE the complex that would give the poor man ? He would think "If pictures of her giving head and taking drugs weren't bad enough for me to see, what was on that roll that was so bad the clerk would tell me they couldn't be developed ?!"
Also, if I was the father, I am sure I would have done it the same way he did. My little girl is dead, and I am despirately trying to find any memento I can of her life, and I find 3 rolls of undeveloped film. The best record of anyone's life short of video. There is no way I would leave them undeveloped, but I definitely would have found an intermediary to filter me from what I wouldn't want to see... not sure if I would have trusted the clerk to be that intermediary, but who else could you trust would never let word get back to you about what was in any questionable pictures ? Only someone totally outside of your life would work for that role.
