Rick Derringer

Wow Dude could play and sing a storm. One of the best! I Don't know why I am just hearing of his passing today, Our sincere condolences ..... Born in 62 I grew up listening to Rick when I was 12 and up. He played the Civic Center in Springfield, Ma. in 76 and at many of the venues near us. I was 14 and and had floor seats. I remember someone opened a fire door and a bunch of teenagers snuck in. I'm not admitting if I was one of those teenage hippy hoodlums..... LoL. He rocked that city until...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dear Jenna im so sorry for your loss Only met Rick a few time but ive been following him since 1973 i feel like i lost a true frend or a family member Ross Martin

Rick was one of the top 5 guitarist of all time and a great performer and what I hear from people close to him a great person and a credit to the music business. We will never see a guy that talented come our way again and every time I remember him playing in the 60's as we are only one year apart in age. I really loved his playing and could listen to him all night long. That to me is talent. RIP Rick D.

one of the nicest people. you could meet

When I was 16 I formed my first rock group. Rick's fast fret action and for me at that time, his complexity on the guitar, was a challenge. He made a difference in my life for sure.

I saw Rick at the Shaboo Inn Reunion in 1990. Despite some issues with the sound system, he rocked it out of the park. By far the best performance that day. Many photos and memories I'll treasure forever. My Mom (God rest her soul) met Rick in, of all places, the local grocery in Colchester, CT back in the early 1990's. He complimented her on her hair (she used a rinse that gave it a pink tint). From then on, each time they met, they spoke like old friends. She introduced me to him on one...

The short period of time that I came into you and Jendas life it was all inspiring... you made music history... You are the legend and you will live on....
