Thank you Roger for making my life better. Thanks for giving me a lifetime of music. Can always see your face when I hear your music. I got the chance to meet you and have a drink with you and thought I knew you my whole life, the world is a sadder place now. Thanks for making a difference in this world. Bless you.!

As the sole surviving member of the group The Fantastics, I would like to pay tribute to Roger, a really great person and performer. We appeared on his TV show back in the 70s in England. May I extend heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and associates on his passing.
Kind regards

I was a fan of Roger Whittaker for many years and I still love his music today. I saw him perform several times in Halifax, NS. Canada as well as listening to his music on the radio and on CD. I only just found out he passed away yesterday and am sorry to see him go. He was an expert whistler and I always loved to hear him whistle or yodel which he was excellent at too. Many condolences to his family and friends and especially from myself and Nova Scotia. Rest in peace, Roger.

We have really enjoyed your singing, whistling, and concerts for many years. No one can possibly match your whistling talent !

May You Rest In Peace

So sorry to hear of Rogers passing, he provided so much joy to the World with his great voice and songs. I am former Program Director for WKTZ fm in Jacksonville Fl ,an easy listening station, and we played Rogers music, he was so popular. I met him briefly after a concert in Orlando ..he always came out to greet his fans! I have just been listening to some of his songs tonight and shared them with both my daughters. RIP Roger, "The good old E and R and H will get you there on time!" Alan.

Roger was and still is my favourite male vocalist. His amazing talents included singing in many languages, at least two whistling styles, and a consistently genuine "presence" while performing. I have enjoyed 3 of his live performances in Regina Saskatchewan and always came away with a song in my heart.
Also, as VFR pilot with only a night rating, I was impressed by his beautiful GulfStream aircraft and endorsement on twin engine and full instrument rating, which is no easy achievement.
Just heard today of his passing, and share a little of the sadness with his devoted family. God Bless and Keep You!

Listening to his stories and sharing many jokes We didn’t get out of there until the wee hours of the morning. He was such a gentleman and a wonderful entertainer. He will be much missed

What a sadness to learn of Roger's passing. My partner, Mike, passed away at end of July and among the music played at his funeral just a few days before Roger's death, as we walked into church, was "The first Hello, The last Goodbye", which I play endlessly in Mike's memory. We spent many an hour since Mike's retirememnt listening to Roger's beautiful songs, something for every emotion known to man (or woman!), and sung with such warmth, feeling and clarity. The songs he wrote himself were particularly poignant and full of meaning, but, equally, those he chose to sing written by others were very carefully selected to match his own style. To be able to leave such a legacy of wonderful music means he will be forever in our hearts. God bless his wife and family who must be distraught at the loss of such a lovely man. Wishing both men peace in the life beyond. Elizabeth

I was so dismayed at hearing of Roger's passing. I have been listening to his music for over 40 years and went to his concert in Okla. City years ago. I have many of his albums and have nearly worn them out over the years. IF, BRAHAMS LULLABYE, CHINJULIP Are just a few of my favorites but I really enjoyed his All My Best album. I have been thinking about getting many on CD since my LP's and tapes are getting old and well used. Roger has been such a blessing in my life in good times and bad. His music fit in beautifully. May God bless those of you he has left behind. You were loved by a wonderful man.
