I was talking about him with my daughter the other night at an Earth Wind and Fire concert saying he was right up there with my favorites growing up. I played his cassette tapes over and over until they wore out. His music and soothing voice will remain in my heart always. Sending sincere condolences to your family.

I became acquainted with Roger Whittaker in 1978 while living in Braunschweig, Germany. I was able to pick up the British Forces radio station. They often played The Last Farewell. I fell in love with this song…As I was homesick..it brought tears to my eyes. I became a fan for life. I was fortunate several years later to see him in person. What a fantastic entertainer he was. I own several of his CDs and still listen to his music frequently. His Christmas music is also superb. The choir in heaven has improved greatly with this latest addition. Thank you Roger for sharing your wonderful voice with us. May you rest in peace. My sincere thoughts and prayers for your family and friends. 💐🙏🏻💔💐🙏🏻💔

I saw and met him when I was 13, everyone else in the venue was over 45! I will NEVER forget the gentleness, kindness, and unbelievable honor it was to meet him.....I did again at 18, and again, I was the youngest in the venue!
He remembered me!
Not by name, but the little girl who was up past her bedtime!
I will ALWAYS love his voice, and always hold the photo of him and I very close and very dear.

I was lucky enough to see him live many years ago on his stop in Moncton, N.B. Canada. I saw him with my parents and it was a wonderful evening. I was delighted to see that he was SO funny and a great storyteller. My mother used to play one of his albums when I went to bed as a child, it's one of my earliest memories. My deepest condolences to his family and friends ❤️

I have listened to Roger Whittaker for years. My grown children fondly remember me playing "Darcy the Dragon" every Christmas season. Wonderful memories. He had such a wonderful voice and whistle. He will be missed.

This has not been a good year for my favourite singers/songwriters. We have lost Gordon Lightfoot, Jimmy Bufett and now Roger. I was playing a playlist of his music just this morning before I heard of his passing. I was lucky enough to see him at the Grand Theater in Sudbury, Northern Ontario three times. His music was heartfelt beautiful and his voice unparalleled. In the span of my thirty year teaching career, his music was often played for the children as they worked. His voice had a very calming effect on my young learners. He was a gift to the world and we are so lucky
to have been able to unwrap it it. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I HAVE TO SAY I HAD ALL HIS MUSIC AND QUITE A FEW SIGNED PHOTOS. I WAS HOPING I WOULD MEET HIM AGAIN SOMETIME. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HIM ON YOUTUBE DOING ALL HIS GERMAN CONCERTS AND HE WAS VERY ENERGETIC AND THE SONGS WERE VERY LIVELY. AND FOR A MAN OF 87 HE WA SVERY SMARTLY AND CASUALLY DRESSED. ANYWAY MANY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AT THIS SAD TIME.
