Lawrence "Laz" Murphy, 81, of Aurora, who served three terms in the Illinois House of Representatives, died Sunday in Provena Mercy Center Hospital in Aurora.
Born in Aurora, Mr. Murphy was first elected to office in 1976 when he won a seat in the legislature representing the 39th House District, which at that time covered cities including Aurora, Naperville and Joliet.
His election came after he had spent 18 years working in the state capitol as a legislative assistant.
Before entering politics, Mr. Murphy was an electrician for Austin-Western Co. in Aurora for 33 years and became a staunch supporter of labor unions. He continued to champion causes of unions and workers when he became a state representative, said his wife, Betty Murphy.
