I sat watching the TV this evening, at first [not knowing him] thinking, done properly it can be such a fantastic medium, educational, entertaining and inspirational.
As I came to understand this man better I called my wife and we sat, holding hands [we never do that], spiritually uplifted by Christie a unique man. An example to us all. It seemed unfair at times some of the cards he was dealt, possibly exploited early on in his career and ill health. I looked on in wonder at the fantastic love shared between him and his family, it’s acknowledgement and appreciation while he lived and realised Christie was blessed. So kind and loving a man, getting back what he deserved.
With more human beings like Christie here on earth we wouldn’t need to leave to experience heaven. Peace and love to his family.

From the first time I heard Christie, he struck me as a wonderful, gentle man, he had a natural talent for music and people. It’s the sign of the man he is so respected, his music and songs will live on forever.

Both my wife and I went to see Christy play in Carlow many years back. The night was one of the greatest of my life. What a show. We were in heaven and Christy was the reason for that. He touched my life in so may ways, as we had a lot in common.
I for one will never forget you Christy and how you brought both joy and tears when listening to your music.
Thanks to Christy for being you.
God bless and I’m sure you are making them all smile up there in heaven.
Pat and Liz

Just seen the tv programe on rte about Christie’s Illness and the few months before his death. The music was touching. He had a heart all right. I think he would be a person that we should strive to get some of his humility,kindness,and a sense of peace. May Heaven be your bed Christie

What a lovely documentary on RTE tonight.
It reminded me of just what a loss Christy is to Irish music and to such a horrid illness from which so many people in Cork have also died - mostly through not knowing the danger they were in at their workplaces.
My belated condolences to his wife and family who I’m sure feel the loss just as much, 8 months on.
