Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

I had no idea i could sign the guest book until recently. I have been a die hard raiders fan since 1968. I loved watching you play Gene Upshaw. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Even though you are gone , you are not forgotten. May you continue to RIP.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

To The Upshaw Family: I am so sorry he is no longer here with us, but do know that he is still here with us in spirit. I pray that you all will be comforted by these words:

Try to remember that a GOOD man never dies; You will see him many times.
You will feel him in all things that are here out of love, and for love.
The person of a man may leave or be taken away, but the best part of a GOOD man stays. It stays FOREVER!

you will be missed lived in Oakland most of my life
always like to watch you play!!

I am deeply sorry to hear about Mr Upshaws passing. The Raider nation will forever be in his debt for what he did on and off the field for the game of football.

I was privileged to sing with my church choir, the Metropolitan Music Ministry at Mr. Upshaw's memorial at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. The service was beautiful and an incredibly moving tribute to an awesome human being. My condolences and prayers are with his family
