Larry Taylor, age 71, of Oak Park, passed away on June 14. Larry was born and raised on the west side of Chicago. He was a veteran of the US Army, and retired from the state of Illinois after 35 years of employment. Larry was a gifted painter and avid music listener; he enjoyed fashion, fine arts, dance, and walks with his dog Bailey. Larry was known for his quick wit and silly sense of humor and could even make a stranger crack a smile.
