first sentences of obituaries

If you could read the first sentence of your obituary, what would you want it to be? I’m not sure I would want mine to be Kenneth Dover’s. (I knew about both parts of it, of course, but it’s a bit more jarring to see such a sentence in this context.)

“Kenneth Dover, an eminent scholar of ancient Greek life, language and literature who became known for his willingness to break longstanding taboos in print, from his frank descriptions of sexual behavior (both the Greeks’ and his own) to his baldly stated desire to bring about the death of a vexing Oxford colleague, died on Sunday in Cupar, Scotland.”
