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.

Followed Roger's career since his first hit and was fortunate to see him in person three times during his visits to the USA. He was so talented in so many ways including being a great family man. His legacy will live on in the beautiful music he wrote and sang. Will miss you Roger.

A piece of my heart died with Roger. Words can not describe the comfort and joy his music meant to me over the years, specially in times when I was at an emotional low. I count it as a blessing I had the good fortune of seeing him in concert. A memory forever cherished.

The Last Farewell - one of my most favourite songs. Have been playing it today in memory of Roger. RIP - Thank you, I will continue to play it regularly.

Thank you for Roger being the musical connection between my father and me. It’s my youth memory. We played his music on my father’s funeral. Wish you strength to carry the loss at this respectable age.

I first heard that rich, golden voice back in 1972, when I lived in Bulawayo, Rhodesia. But try as I could, I could not find any LP record to add to my collection. I eventually found one in the village of Marandellas and snapped it up. Several people offered me more than I paid but it was not for sale, ever. With the advent of CD, I now have that golden voice in crystal clear format.
Roger's hit "The Last Farewell" was very popular in Rhodesia in the 1970's among the wives and girlfriends of their menfolk who were being called up for their 2-year military National Service. And now with his passing, the title is even more piognant for me.
Farewell Roger, you may have left the studio but your music will live on for many years. Thank you for enriching my life. Time now for a well-deserved rest. Rest In Peace.
