The definition of going in style

Although I was not an uncritical fan of Robert Anton Wilson's work, I was very sorry to learn (via Covert History) of the man's passing. Wilson's final blog entry was sublime:
Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.

Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.
Well done, Mr. Wilson.

Did he ever put out part three of the conspiracy trilogy that included The Widow's Son (freemasonry symbolism)?
