[game_preservation] Gary Gygax passed away

[Andrew Armstrong]

Okay everyone, I've put up the page;

http://www.igda.org/wiki/Memorials/Gary_Gygax

*Biography/Eulogy still needed*, and you can email me directly if you 
want to add direct comments or something (or edit them in yourselves if 
you can at the bottom of the page) please do.

I also added Greg Bick for those that know him, with a biography/eulogy 
provided kindly by Sim:
