Gary Gygax Passes

I'm a bit choked up, but word from Troll Lord Games is that Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons & Dragons, has passed away. There are few details, but those currently available can be found here.
If I hear more details I will post them. In the meantime, my deepest condolences to Gary's family and friends. He's brought millions of people happiness in our unique hobby and will be greatly missed.
EDIT 2:15 p.m. EST 3/4/08: As promised, more details (these from the Chicago Tribune) located here.

Rest in Peace. May he go up to the Astral plane in style
That really sucks. Too bad no one was around to give him a rez.
I think I seriously might cry right now.
:(
Holy crap I'm sad =(
See you in the Astral Plane, Gary.
I blame 4th edition. Goodnight, sweet archetypal sadistic dungeon master prince.
