Officials have announced funeral arrangements for Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Henderson.
A driver hit Henderson May 2 while the 33-year veteran of the sheriff's department was directing traffic during the University of Cincinnati's commencement ceremonies.
“In Deputy Henderson’s early tenure as a Sheriff’s Deputy, I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation," Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said in a statement. "Larry began his journey as a Sheriff’s Office trainer early in his career. He developed an expertise and became an excellent trainer. Subsequently, he trained divisions of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office that included hundreds of deputy sheriffs. His ability to relate to and touch officers’ lives was extraordinary. We will continue to honor Larry’s life of service.”
