View all 10 ReflectionsChief Deputy Larry Wayne King was my dear husband and I still miss him to this day. We had three children together and all were very young when Larry passed. Larry was loved by everyone he ever met, even his children who never got to know him, but he lives on in my heart and memories.❤️
