Talking to NITV Radio, Gavin Somers reflected on Uncle Jack's invaluable contribution to the arts and the community.
"Uncle Jack was an inspiration to so many Australians through his extraordinary creativity and advocacy. He shared his stories with people of all ages and helped us navigate difficult conversations with incredible warmth, insight, vulnerability and humour. We are so proud to be celebrating the extraordinary life of Uncle Jack Charles with this special event at ACMI.." Gavin Somers said.
