James (Jim, Jimmy, Vinnie) Montgomery Christopher

Jimmy

B. June 26, 1959 - Memorial Hospital, St. Joseph, Michigan

James (Jim, Jimmy & Vinnie) was born to Karen Dale Ackerman and Warren Bernard Christopher, Sr. on Friday, June 26, 1959, at 11:17 P.M. at Memorial Hospital in St. Joseph, Michigan. Mom and Dad brought him home to a full house in Sawyer, Michigan (see the Siblings Page on the Sawyer Home to learn more).

Most of Jim's family calls him "Jimmy," his friends started calling him "Vinnie" when he was a teenager. We were just starting to call him "Jim" when Dayle married Jim Chronister. Mom and all of us began calling Dayle's husband "Big Jim," because he is 6'4" and older. The natural companion to that would be to call Jim Christopher "Little Jim," but no one liked that, so, that never was his nickname. Mom and the older sibs continue(d) to call him "Jimmy" to this day. Robin and almost all his friends still call him "Vinnie." Other people call him Jim. So, take your pick, Jimmy says he doesn't mind any of the three.
