Ritchie Valens: A great talent lost to us forever, yet living on through his music and his fans.

[DrNowhereman90]

i always visit there since i live close

[Kaffyboy]

@DrNowhereman90 I'm visiting again in November. It's a little harder for me to get there since i'm in Australia.

[DrNowhereman90]

@Kaffyboy you must be a dedicated fan

[Kaffyboy]

@DrNowhereman90 I am. Very much so. I was brought up on music of the 1950's, and Ritchie was always a favourite of mine!

[Kaffyboy]

Last Friday, the 13th, Ritchie turned 70. I'm heading back to the USA in November, and I'll be sure to once again pay my respects to the great Ritchie Valens. I'm sure he appreciates me coming all the way from Australia.

[IcepinkAngel26]

Its so sad that he died so young!!!! RIP!

Oh and by the way @Kaffyboy you should delete the comments that glocker8888 put down because he is basically insulting and saying rude comments just to let you know.

[Kaffyboy]

@glocker8888 I havent a clue what you're saying! I only speak English. I just hope you're not insulting the memory of Ritchie Valens.

[glocker8888]

Ritchie Valens era lesbiana poco flaco.

[Kaffyboy]

@glocker8888 What?! I don't speak Spanish at all! What I got out of that is 'Ritchie Valens' and 'lesbian'.

[Kaffyboy]

@glocker8888 usted es un dickhead de mierda

[morris2480]

@glocker8888 estas pendejo o ke te pasa pobre idiota

[gatewayeast1609]

RIP Ritchie Valens (1941-1959)

[johnmagals]

today I feel sadness in remembering the untimely death of Ritchie Valenza, his music was forever in our ears.

[Rasheedpatterson]

i love his music were is his brother ?

[faustrocket565]

I live in Pacoima myself and when the santa ana winds blow it's hard to sleep because it always sounds like a ghost howling.

[mrshutter45]

scary how there is always 50MPH winds at gravesites?

[Kaffyboy]

@mrshutter45 I know! I was nearly blown away by the fierce winds blowing when I saw the grave of Vic Morrow.

[jammerstud99]

amazing he should have a more prestigous tombstone.

[Kaffyboy]

@jammerstud99 It was a simple headstone, but I think Ritchie would've liked it. It was simple and to the point. It was an amazing feeling, being able to pay homage to this legend of rocknroll.

[jammerstud99]

@jammerstud99 true he is an underrated legend but he's music speaks for itself. God Bless!

[cristian122394]

in loving memory richie valens!

[Kaffyboy]

@cristian122394 To think he was only 17 when he died....and all these years later, he is still remembered and loved worldwide. Let's see Justin Bieber do that!

[SpiritWolf1021]

@Kaffyboy dont you ever mention him in Ritchie Valens good name. he died a horrible death and didnt deserve it. Justin Bieber is a talentless little queer.

[Kaffyboy]

@SpiritWolf1021 Please accept my apologies! Oh, and calling Bieber a 'talentless little queer'is an insult to talentless little queers everywhere!

[ThePicklefluff]

whats the cementarys name? i live by San Fernando!

[Kaffyboy]

@ThePicklefluff It is the San Fernando Mission Cemetery. I found his grave with the help of the groundstaff there. They were very friendly and helpful.

[ThePicklefluff]

@Kaffyboy Oh Thank You. Im going to check it out, Thanks.

[Kaffyboy]

YAY!!! 10,000 views! Thanks everybody!

[nino4evazya]

[nino4evazya]

[Kaffyboy]

That is so lovely! I wish I had my guitar with me. I'd have sat by his graveside and played 'Donna' for him.

[Kaffyboy]

It was an honour to be able to pay respects to the late, great Ritchie Valens.
