My favourite avuncular General practitioner and dermatologist at our surgery, died suddenly far too young of Alzhemeirs ...

There was a neighbour when I was growing up, that was super avuncular towards us kids. He truly was a fun neighbour.

I, too had an avuncular neighbor. The kids all loved him. He was a city firefighter who worked various shifts, so he was around often during the day to tease us and teach us games.
