I don't know Mr. Wilson to any degree-I am one of those who knew him best for creating the source material for Life Force, which was a terrible movie-but my wish for him was that he lived the sort of life where he didn't actually care what his obits said, and instead enjoyed his life and left work that had the possibility of speaking for itself, over time. If you're a creative {or indeed any other} person, let me suggest you don't worry about your obits either. As well as you can, live the life you want to live and make the work you want to make. After you're gone, it'll all be sorted out or not. You won't be around to worry about it. Focus on the parts you're around for.
