To me, Christmas just wouldn't be the same without the wonderful seasonal music of Roger Whitaker. I grew up listening to his songs on 8-Track cassettes my mother bought. I know every Christmas song by heart now and sing along at this time of year while doing mundane chores. I'm in my 50s now and yet Darcy the Dragon is still my favorite. Thank you for all of the ways you made the world a better place. RIP Mr. Whitaker

While listening to music this afternoon “The Last Farewell” came on I was compelled to google Roger. I was saddened to hear he passed. I was introduced to his music through my father and I’ve continued to listen throughout my life. My father recently brought me some of his albums and there were a couple Roger Whitaker in there, thankfully. I’ve always loved his voice and storytelling. Blessings to his family for comfort.

Bless u Roger RIP. I went to Worcester cricket ground one year, took one of my customers and we went up in the posh box. I saw Roger sitting a few seats across from us. I didn’t pluck up the courage to go and say hello I wish I would have, but he looked so settled and enjoying himself I didn’t want to disturb him. But I remember my Father loved his music and some of it rubbed off on me. If I see you next time Roger I will come and say hello. Xxxx

I've loved Roger Whittaker's music since the early 1980's. What a PHENOMENAL voice, and what PHENOMENAL songs! It was a shock to learn of his death on September 13 2023, he will be sorely missed 🙁 RIP, Mr. Whittaker.

A man with a voice of Pure Gold, many a time his songs got me through the bad times, and a lot of good times. Not many people can make your Heart Hurt even though you never knew them, or even met them, when you hear of their passing. Thank you Mr Whittaker for sharing your extraordinary vocal talent with us, and may your family know they stood next to a Legend, and legends last forever.

So sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of seeing Roger twice in Canada and it was wonderful. I was an odd fan, 20 years old and surrounded by my elders. When he sang changelip we screamed out “HeyHeyHey” and literally scared the folks in the audience. I am so sad to find out he passed but so happy with the legacy he left us.

Mr. Whittaker was (and still is!) my all-time favorite singer. I grew up listening to him in the 70s+ in Canada. I went to his concerts whenever I could when I lived in Ottawa. I still listen to his songs and love some of the messages that they conveyed. My heartfelt wishes to his family.

Dear Roger, I think of you every day. I have been a great admirer since 1969. My ring tone on the phone is "Where the Rainbow Ends" from 1977. This means that every time my phone rings, I hear you whistling carelessly and beautifully. Thank you for the music, both songs and whistling. You will never be forgotten.

Music lovers have lost an icon. His unique voice and arrangements brought many, many hours of enjoyment to millions of fans. One of my biggest regrets is never having the opportunity to see him perform live. Sincere condolences to his family.

I have loved Mr. Whittaker and his beautiful voice for years. My all time favorite is The Last Farewell and I am requesting his record of that be played at my funeral. He brought so much pleasure to so many. Sincere sympathy to his wife and family.

Currently sitting and listening to Skye Boat Song on one of Roger’s old vinyl albums which I cherish so greatly. What a wonderful singer he was. Brought so much depth with each of his recordings. Wish I could have met him.

I had the Honor and the Privilege to see and hear this remarkable man in 1984. I was working at the Sandman Hotel in Kelowna BC. Mr. Whittaker was doing sets for a few evenings and to end my day and sit down to finish it with Him was extraordinary. I was a young 19 yr old, never exposed to his type of music before and I was entranced, especially when he began to whistle, it was a whole new experience for me. Because of Mr Whittaker, I learned to explore different genres of music. Thank you Mr. Whittaker from a greatful lifelong fan.

Saddened to learn of this artist's passing. I have numerous songs of his on my Pandora feed. One song in particular, "All Of My Life", reminds me of a movie I cannot identify. I've searched on-line with no luck. Was this song featured in a movie? R.I.P., Roger Whittaker☘️☮️✝️

I grew up on Roger Whittaker's music, and still listen to him often. His singing has always warmed and soothed me in a way few others can. He'll always be one of my favorites. Thank you, Mr. Whittaker. You made the world better. Sleep well.
