Son of George Christie, born 1828 in Scotland, and Lillie Christie, born ca 1845 in New York.
Husband of Susan Gertrude Wanless (1873 - 1959), father of Eleanor Ann Christie Bose (1907 - 1972) and Frances Wanless Christie Jastram (1910 - 1997).
After Jack and Susie married in Essex, Ontario, Canada on 8 May 1897, the couple immediately moved from Port Huron, St. Clair County, Michigan, to their new home in Needles, San Bernardino County, California, where John was employed by the ATSF Railroad. Before retiring from the Santa Fe Railroad on 31 December 1939, at the age of 72, Jack had a remarkable career, eventually rising to Superintendent of the Arizona Division, Superintendent of the San Francisco Terminal, and Superintendent of the San Joaquin Valley and San Francisco Division. After he retired, he served as the first Chairman of the Fresno Civil Service Commission (1943-1949) and on the rationing board during World War II. This outline of his life cannot begin to convey the strength, caring, generosity, wit, and dedication to his family, work and the employees that sum up the character of this man, who always gave so much of himself to others.
