RIP Gary Gygax
HurtHe is the reason I can find 5%, 10%, and 15% of any number almost instantly.
I blame him for my lack of social skills but multitude of proficiencies and secondary skills(if you understood that you are obviously in mourning as well).
He is the reason I occasionally mumble things like OoooOOoOOOo Natural 20, and oops rolled a 1 while watching COPS.
He is probably the reason I figured out I like telling people stories, and the reason I got better at it.
He is responsible for my more than passing knowledge of classical mythology, Roman military techniques, Celtic religious practices, aww hell he's the only reason I ever learned any of the cool interesting history that spices up a game and make the world seem like an amazing place sometimes.
For all you did for us, the geeks of the world salute you, Gary. I hope you are currently hoisting one with your pantheon of choice.
Devious Comments
Thanks for all the memories, Gary. You will be missed by untold numbers of socially inept dice-rollers like myself.

I considered dusting off Tomb of Horrors and slaughtering dozens of hapless PCs in his honor. 1st Ed style!

God is probably trying to explain the concept of 'metagaming' to him as we speak.
