Born in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland to the late Mary (nee Harrington) Hosford, he immigrated to New York City in the 1960's and was proud to become a U.S. Citizen. Christy appreciated the opportunities that America offered and before retiring, Christy worked for The United Water Company for 35 years, but continued to work as a Crossing Guard in Hasbrouck Heights for over 20 years, until late 2022.
