Charles W. Ruff III

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...

I will always love Chuck and never forget all the great times we shared. My sincere love to Moni and the rest of his family and friends. Chuck was my brother and will be missed.

Chuck was a friend of my husband (Richard Whitt)sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with you and your family.
