Silver Minings: Raiders mourn loss of Tom Louderback

The Raiders shared some sad news yesterday, as Tom Louderback passed away at the age of 87. Louderback was an original Raider, joining the newly-founded AFL team back in 1960. He spent two seasons with the team in Oakland.

At the time of his passing, Louderback was the oldest living member of the 1960 team. He spent five seasons in the league as a linebacker and an offensive lineman. In such a storied history of the Raiders franchise, Louderback was one of the originals to ever suit up for them.

R.I.P. to the legend.
