"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else." Gary Gygax 2005
Thank you Gary for bringing us so much joy and happiness. I wish you godspeed in the Elysian fields that surely awaits you. My thoughts and prayers goes to your family.

What an awesome quote. We should all be so lucky. It a shame more people in the world don't think like that. Could you imagine if they did?
I met him once in the late 80's at a convention when I was into RPG's. He really was just a nice old guy. I remember thinking "OMG, I just had a casual conversation with Gary Gygax about games!"
I add this memorial on my EDIT 2nd message as it seem to be quite fit and the nicest I found on youtube. Be warned, it bring tears to my eyes each time I watch it...silly me.

It was an honor to have shared in his creation. He has inspired so many of us that have been able to take his world and expand on it in ways he hoped it would become. I think to have lived and watch his world he created grow into what it is today was probably one of his greatest dreams coming true.
You will never be a memory Gary Gygax, You will always be a legend.

Gary Gygax, rest in peace. You will live through D&D fans!
Thank you for the fondest of memories. /salute.
aw hell i always wanted to play in one of his kobold campaigns.
many thanx sir for creating Fantasy Role Playing and enabling me to spend countless hours exploring worlds of wonder.
For me Gary Gygax is up there with Poe and Bradbury and Tolkien, one of a handful of people in history who fundamentally influenced global culture.
ps: indeed, the spirit of Mr. G lives on thru each of us whenever we play a game.
Thanks for your effort to bring inspiration and fun to people.
R.I.P. Gary...
