“I was saddened to hear of Upson's passing and my sincerest condolences go out to his family. Upson was an upbeat kind man who always saw the best in people and situations. He was particular about his appearance and was always the gentleman. He taught me many things such as ballroom dancing and how to bind a book. Both skills have served me well through the years. Upson and I met at WonderBra 50 years ago and developed a friendship which has endured through the decades. He will be missed.”
