It is with great fondness that I remember Mr. Christy...the fabulous Nick. I have many happy memories of him but the one I'd like to share is how he comforted me at a time of deep personal loss.
Fifteen years ago, within a short span of time, both my husband and my mother died. Nick knew them both and there was much joyful rapport between all of them. When I came in ALONE to eat after their deaths, Nick sat in the booth and wept with me. Such a dear man with a wide open heart. I...

Ann, I'm so sorry for your loss. Mr. Christy was a wonderful man and one who was loved so much. My son, Kevin, always had great respect for "Mr. C" when and after he worked at the restaurant. My prayers are with you and the family.

Uncle Nick was one of a kind, funny, kind and generous. My dad and him would talk daily telling stories that they had told hundreds of times, and laugh like it had just happened yesterday. One of my fondest memories was the Christopulos reunion back in the early 90's. All of the siblings were there and the stories and jokes that were told between my dad (Tony), Uncle Nick and Uncle Bob were classic at best. Aunt Ann, Anthony, Patrick & Annick, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Nick was a...

Nick was the best..."How you doing?" was a great welcome. He always asked "How's the family?" There are so many memories that we enjoyed together at Christy's for over 40 years. My father Bob "Bugsy " Segal & Nick had a close relationship from supporting Winter Haven's businesses, the involvement with the Red Sox as well as sharing their interest in the building of St. Sophia & Temple Beth Shalom as they became a realily. His presence will be greatly missed and will always be part of our...
