Chris was born in Kings BS high school, he enlisted in the Navy. While at a USO Can- teen in NYC, Chris met the “love of his life” Marion and married on April 6, 1945. Chris and Marion spent the next 67 years together. Upon discharge, Chris began his career with the NYC Police Department; working initially as a patrol- man and ultimately was pro- moted to Detective on the Bomb Squad. Disarming bombs was routine to him. Repairmen, neighbors, etc., couldn’t help but notice all the commendations on the walls, and pictures of Chris disarming bombs. This would lead to long visits lis- tening to the stories of his days combating the Black Panthers and Weathermen in the 70’s and 80s. Besides his stories he was known for his unique ex- pressions, such as “GO SCRATCH”. It was just rou- tine for him and he was ex- tremely humble in thinking ‘that it was anything special. Chris is survived by his three children, Vi Kremkau of Athens, GA, Chris Hayes of Rochester, NY and Eric Hayes of Troy, AL; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Chris was preceded in death by his parents, brother, sister and recently his beloved wife, Marion Hayes.

Feemster was pastor for 20 years at Mount Zion Baptist Church and also was director of the Pittman Center for Con- gregational Enrichment at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs. Feemster was charged the first time with solicita- tion in February 2011 and the church and university - both placed him on leave. He had worked at Gard- ner-Webb since 2004, but he resigned shortly after the allegations surfaced. Feemster retired from Mount Zion Baptist Church in August 2011. In July 2011, a judge found Feemster not guilty of soliciting sex.
