What was Hamlet relation to the skull?

The Skull is Yorrik's, the court jester when Hamlet was a young boy. In the last Act, when Hamlet has escaped his attempted enprisionment in England, he runs into a grave digger, digging Ophelia's grave. Much more is happening in the scene besides that, but to the point; Hamlet takes Yorrik's skull in his hands, and is shaken from seeing a boyhood friend of his dead. From here, he goes on a philosophical rant about death, life, and how all of us humans end up dead, as a pile of bones. a fantastic scene, and my personal favorite among Hamlet's monologues/dialogues (he converses with Horatio, abet one-sidedly)
