Ralph "Riff" West Jr.

Remembering the late, great Riff West. Only met you once in 2003 at Bruce Crumps benefit in Richmond, Va and the memory remains each time I revisit the photos I took during that day of amazing music and the love everyone shared amongst one another to help a brother in his time of need. Rest in Peace brother knowing you´ll always be remembered as one of the best!

"A tear within sorrow a smile within remembrance intermingled as one forever in heart and soul..."

I miss seeing you and Terri. Your friend and she did an amazing job with your beautiful head stone, I know you are proud and grateful. My favorite song you wrote for the Molly Hatchet Band is their best one ever, "Fall of the Peacemakers." I Rest in peace, Riff. Love and miss you, Kim W. xoxoxos

I used to bartend at Beef 'O Brady's in Orlando and Riff used to come in. He was always so kind. I thought of him because of a song on the radio, and I was sad to hear of his passing when I looked him up. He was such a nice man. My condolences to his family and loved ones, I know even years later, they are still missing him.
