VALE MICHAEL JUNCK<br />
The Board of Directors, management, staff<br />
and employees of Kurrajong Waratah were<br />
shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic<br />
loss of their longstanding employee and<br />
friend, Michael Junck as a result of a tragic<br />
accident near Wagga Wagga recently.<br />
In organisations such as Kurrajong Waratah,<br />
people with a disability are often involved for<br />
the majority of their lives and as a result, very<br />
close relationships are developed and to lose<br />
someone in this way is particularly tragic<br />
This was certainly the case with Michael<br />
Junck.<br />
Michael was a hard working and loyal<br />
employee who had a great outlook on life.<br />
He was totally committed to his work as a<br />
member of The Clothes Basket team where<br />
he had worked for 23 years. Staff and fellow<br />
employees fondly recall their friendship<br />
with Michael, his warm friendly ways and<br />
his delight in having contact with the many<br />
Clothes Basket customers he got to know<br />
well over the years.<br />
Michael’s family were incredibly loving,<br />
supportive and encouraging throughout<br />
Michael’s life and showed that love to the<br />
fullest on many occasions enabling Michael<br />
to maintain a quality of life that would not<br />
have been possible otherwise.<br />
Sadly, Michael’s father Brian was injured<br />
in the accident although we are pleased to<br />
report he is improving more each day.<br />
We extend to Michael’s entire family our<br />
sincere condolences. Michael will long be<br />
remembered as a valued member of Kurrajong<br />
Waratah’s family.<br />

father Brian Junck.<br />
