Terry Gillickâ??s niece Michaela McElwee wanted to return early from her vacation in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for Gillickâ??s funeral. Instead, Gillickâ??s wife asked her to find a nice pub and raise a pint to her â??Uncle Funny.â?
Gillick, a longtime spokesman for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, died of a heart attack Sunday. He was 59. He and his wife, Terry Perry, lived on Milwaukeeâ??s west side.
