I generally wouldn't use a poster from the GSN board as a source, but apparently, this person lives in the same town as Mr. Gillooly (Newark, Ohio), and reports that his passing was noted in a recent edition of that city's newspaper.
Outside of his game show achievements, Mr. Gillooly was evidently quite well know in the putt-putt golf industry, having bought the land for his first course with the money that he won from his "$20,000 Pyramid" appearance.
Here's the link to their post:

Appears an obituary (http://\"http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?s_site=newarkadvocate&p_multi=NADB|&p_product=NADB&p_theme=gannett&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_dispstring=gillooly%20AND%20date()&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=(%22gillooly%22)&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no\") indeed was published in the Newark Advocate on 6 Jan.
There is this journal entry (http://\"http://www.xanga.com/mithridatism/484873438/item.html\") as well. ~_~

Sorry I didn't see this earlier (this was posted while I was in L.A. for the Congreff). I had the chance to chat with Mike a few times when we were both *P* members (that's "Prodigy," for those who thought that online services started and ended with AOL).
Nice guy. Sorry to hear of his passing.
