I remember my Uncle Bill being such a fun person to always be around. He was the one who always would play with us at family functions and be the big kid. On Christmas one year, we remember looking and waiting for Santa to come to Grandma and Grandpa Gilhooly's house. Suddenly he came, and Uncle Bill was no where to be found. We were young and still believed, but always wondered if it could have been him dressed up. Fond memories of a great, happy and silly person.
