Condolence Motion - Uncle Harry (ready by Mayor Mannoun)

It is with deep sadness that I impart to you of the loss of our friend, Uncle Harry Callaghan, who passed away on 1 July 2024. Uncle Harry Callahan was first and foremost a proud Dunghutti man from Kempsey who generously gave of himself while serving as the Community Manager at Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Uncle Harry found his true place and home within the hearts and companionship of his extended Gandangara family who will miss him dearly. He warmed them with his daily friendly Yamma’s, encouraged them with his reassuring message sticks, gave them dignity and understanding with his cultural mentoring, and strengthened them with his dedication to community engagement and devout support of their programs.

This is sorry business for us, his family, and the community. This way of expressing our grief goes to the very heart of what it means to be part of community.

Thank you, Uncle Harry, and farewell.
