I am 2 years late getting my condolences here. I enjoyed watching your career Mr. West. Robert Conrad talks of you often on his radio show and how much he enjoyed working with you in the Wild Wild West and Baa Baa Black Sheep. I loved Elvis and followed his career where I saw many pictures of you with him. You had qute the life. RIP.
Sorry about your loss I liked watching Red in the movies! Like Black sheep. Was just thinking about him the other day and didn’t even realize he past!….. I’m saddened!
Sincere condolences to his family. One of Elvis’ best friends, maybe the best. I will always – for the rest of my life – remember you at Christmas when I hear my all time favorite Christmas song „If Every Day Was Like Christmas“ written by you, Dear Mr. West. Thank you very much. Doreen from Germany.
My heart goes out to The Red West family….RED Sir Thank you first and foremost for Serving Our country as United States Marine, You were such a gentle soul with huge talent. Thanks for being there for so much of Elvis life and giving yourself to his memory. You are missed and won’t be forgotten. You are my favorite Memphis Mafia member! Peace be on your soul in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
Red you will be greatly missed, I will always remember how you treated me when we met, you were always so kind and went out of your way and was always so nice to me. I will see you again someday soon in Heaven my friend! RIP buddy!
I was saddened to learn of the recent death of Red West. His life was a fascinating one and his talent as an actor and songwriter to be admired. Separate Ways is one of my favorite songs especially when sung by Elvis Presley. I salute Red for his service to his Country and I lament his passing. Vic in Toronto, Canada.
To Red’s family…I am truly sorry to hear of Red’s passing, especially so close to Sonny’s…I never met either of them, but they both came across as stand-up guys…They took a lot of criticism from some fans over the years, and always seemed to handle it with Grace. Pat, I hope you know we all share some small measure of grief over your loss.Our thought and prayers are with you and your family. Blessings to you. Rest in Peace, Mr. West…
Sending thoughts and prayers to the family. John and I had so much respect for Red.
