Not sure what to say?

To The Ruff Family: I didn't know Chuck personally, however, he was an inspiration to me, as a young drummer in the late 70's. His drumming leaves a legacy for all drummers in the generations to come. Thank you Chuck for the great drumming. Rest in peace.

Bob & I always enjoyed hearing you play, running into you out n about in Reno, one of the nicest people I´ve met, please say hi to Bob for me.

A very good drummer with a much identifiable style. I remember a quote from Edgar about Chuck: "Chuck is a joy on the road". That always intrigued me. I was a big fan of Edgar since his days in that super band White Trash.

My sincere condolences to all friends and family, especially to you Moni. His legacy will live on...
