Bedridden and on feeding tube, former Chiefs great Otis Taylor is cared for by loving sister

Otis Taylor might be 73 years old now, but he still will be dressed fashionably and impeccably every day at his Raytown home, friends will tell you.

Last they saw, his face was smooth and pristine, unblemished by the furrows of worry or stress or even the merest telltale signs of age.

That’s because his every need is met as if telepathically, without Taylor so much as having to utter a word — particularly to his infinitely devoted sister, Odell.

“Otis is living the life of luxury,” Ollie Gates, a dear friend, says as he musters a sad chuckle.
