Jerry F. Christie

I was fortunate enough to call Jerry my friend. When I heard the news of his passing, I started to think about a great many things. Things such as;

Frank Sinatra
Big Band music
The Ed Sullivan Show
Jackie Gleason
Walter Cronkite
Getting away from it all, where there are no cell phones, text messages or tweets
Taking time to help others even though we don’t have the time
Living by neighbors who care and involved in your life (in a good way)

Our family's lived next door to each other on Malvern until they moved across town.But our families remained close even after they moved. Jerry and I always remained close,no mattered where I was living I always heard from him and he was always there when I need advice, He was a great guy and will never be forgotten.

This simple Nebraska girl is really going to miss our long conversations and letter writing. Jerry was a one-of-a-kind guy who would do anything for his friends, and was so full of information and life. Even though we knew each other for two short years, baking cookies for him and having him help us plan an incredible vacation were priceless. Miss you dearly, Jerry!

I first met Jerry while eating in Mulberry Street as I was minding my own business sitting at table 13, right across from Jerry's table. He noticed my Nebraska shirt and told me if I was lost and that everyone at this restaurant was from USC. It was from then on that a special bond between him and I was born. What I will miss most about Jerry is not being able to sit with him and the other part of the trio (George) and just talk and laugh and hear there stories. He will always be...

Although I only knew Jerry a couple years, he was a Man among men. He is already deeply missed in our neighborhood. Living next door to him was a real treat. Especially when he came home from his ranch and shared his steaks!! My thoughts and prayers go out to Diana and her family.

In whatever way Jerry touched our lives----------young and old, friends and family, business acquaintances, school buddies, community folks, -----------------I believe that his personalized license plate says it all.......XOXOJFC.
We have all been richly blessed to be able to say------------We knew Jerry Christie, he was a very special guy and we treasure our memories of him. God bless.

I am saddened by Jerry's death. I first met Jerry in 3rd grade and attended Fullerton schools with him through high school. I always admired him and I think we were all proud of him when he became mayor of Fullerton. I thought of him as "Mr. Fullerton" because he always seemed to know everyone and what was going on in the city. I will miss him at our class reunions where he always made a point of saying hello and chatting a bit. A very nice man who will be missed.

He was my Grandpa and I miss him already. He set the standard for what a good, decent man is and should be and I will never forget him.
