Christy was a skilled carpenter who apprenticed and perfected his trade in Ireland. He worked for Gillette in South Boston for twenty-five years and retired in 2002.

He was a longtime patron of Paddy Barry's Irish Pub in Quincy and had made many lasting friendships over the years.

Christy and his wife were dedicated supporters of the United Way. He was also a proud and avid gardener and enjoyed tending to his many flowers, plants, and lawn.

Beloved husband for forty-two years to Norah P. Connolly-Lally.

Devoted father to Shane Lally of Quincy, Kyle Thomas Lally of Quincy and his fiancée Anna Fuller of Weymouth, and the late Ross Martin Lally.

Dear brother-in-law to John and Breda Connolly; Sarah and James McGauley; and Paul and Barbara Connolly.

Loving uncle to the late Lisa Lally, and he is also survived by many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins, friends, and neighbors.

A picture taken a year ago in your home land with one of your great grand nieces Aodhla. Aodhla took one look at you and she was up sitting beside you for some beautiful chats.
