Larry Taylor, who was the subject of a Labor Press feature story in September 2023, died in September at age 71.
Taylor was former Democratic Party chair in Multnomah and Clatsop counties. After a career as a project manager at Intel, in retirement he became a certified parliamentarian — an expert on how to use Robert’s Rules of order.
In that role, he helped train people on meeting procedures, and he served unions and other groups as a convention parliamentarian, conferring on stage with union presidents to help meetings run smoothly. He was the parliamentarian at the last two conventions of the Oregon AFL-CIO.
