Conway he continued to practice medicine at the Monroe Mental Health Center in Monroe, LA until he became ill at age 79.

Dr. Cris was passionate about working and enjoyed photography, fishing, gardening and most of all helping other people. He had a unique ability to be the same kind man every day no matter what challenges he may have been facing at the time.

Pallbearers will be William Love, Dan Bounds, Mark Debord, Dr. Roy Ragsdall, Dr. Roy Braswell, and Phillip Morris.

Visitation will be Friday from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe.

His family would like to give a special thanks to his co-workers at the Monroe Mental Health Center for being so supportive to him throughout the battle with his illness as well as the staff at Southern Care Hospice.
