Gary Gygax Question

[theodudek]

This is random but.. does anyone know where Gary Gygax is buried? I went looking at "findagrave.com" and generally around google, but I couldn't turn up any information. I assume he's buried somewhere in Lake Geneva, but does anyone have more specific information?

Many thanks and I hope this question doesn't seem too odd! ^_^

I believe this question is better suited in the General area than here... but I might be wrong.

I don't think it's odd at all. In fact, I would very much like to know the answer myself. Next summer ($$$ willing) I would like to visit Lake Geneva and pay my respects at his grave (assuming, of course, that it is Lake Geneva).

Anyway, whether this thread stays here or is bumped to General, I'd like to know the answer along with the OP.

Interesting question.
I can see a horde of fanatic players (like me younger) crowding near his tomb to worship such a great hero.

Whew, I thought someone was planning on zombifying him. That scared me.

I was hoping more along the lines of a "True Resurrection" as opposed to "Animate Dead"

I'll ask Gail next time I speak to her, but I believe Gary was cremated and not buried anywhere.

There's a project to get a statue or memorial to EGG placed in one of the parks in LG, and assuming all goes well with the approval and funding processes, that would probably be the best place to pay your respects.
