Cris was my Field Training Officer at the Hickory Police Department in 1980, what a great guy! He taught me to respect others and to treat people as you would want them to treat your mother, father, sister or brother. I will always remember his example and his smile! Thank You Cris.....you made a difference in my life! Hank Guess

Teresa,Chesley, and family. May God bless and provide comfort to each of you during this time. Cris was a wonderful person to be associated with during my time with the Norfolk Southern Police Dept. He was always a person of integrity, trustworthy and kept a positive attitude of life. Although he will be missed by many here on earth, I'm sure he will be welcomed with open arms in Heaven.

Cris was my cousin, and I will regret for the rest of my life that, because of distance and the busy-ness of life, we had lost touch. He was a good man who loved his family with all his heart and soul. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

I am so sorry to hear the passing of Cris. He was indeed one of the finest people I met while working with NS on the Piedmont Division. He was not only a co worker but a friend. My prayers are with you.

I had the honor of calling him my Uncle. He was such a sweet person and caring! When my Dad was in Baptist hospital last year , Uncle Cris came and just his presence calmed me... just sitting beside me... we didn't have to talk ... I just knew he was there and it was going to be alright! I will miss his calls checking in on us... I wish my son could have got to know him little more. I will always cherish my memories of him. Always buckle up was the first thing he said as we started to travel I was young and I always remember that to this day when I get in my car... he will be really missed... praying for his whole family!!! Love and prayers... April & John Grady

Cris was my supervisor at Hickory PD in 1983. He remained a friend through the years. He bought my breakfast (Snack Bar #1) the last day I was an HPD officer and gave me 2 bits of advice I still use to this day. I will miss him dearly.

Chris was a fine officer, but much more than that, he was a fine person. Always friendly, respectful of others, and outgoing, he was admired by all who knew him.

It was such an honor to have met you the very few times that I did. In what little time I have known Chelsey, it was obvious what a devoted, wonderful family man you were.

May God bless and watch over your family and may they find peace, comfort and joy in their memories.

Rest in peace.
