I'm sorry if I can't add a lengthy post here.
But I have met several people who think C Tolkien used his fathers work to
achive fame and fortune, but only for fame&fortune, not because of his fathers
wishes.
I don't agree with them, but thats another question though.
If I remember correctly however, C Tolkien drew some of the maps of
Middle-Earth by request of his father. I think it was something like that. I'm
not sure if J Tolkien made a death-bed request, asking C Tolkien to finish his
work...but it is clear that C Tolkien loved his father and his
work.
