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.
Very saddened to learn of Roger's passing.

Listening to his music still makes me feel happy and look to the future with optimism.

Such sad news tonight to hear of Roger’s passing. I feel like I have lost another part of my Dad tonight who truly loved him and his music. We had a true connection to him as I was born in Nairobi,as we he. His voice will live on forever. Rest in Peace
I saw Mr. Whittaker twice in person. He was wonderful. Such an incredible voice! May he rest in peace. Condolences to all his family.
🥺 a sad loss thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻 - my Mum introduced to me to his music 🎼 and I still listen to it to this day 🙏🏻
RIP Roger my condolences to his family and friends .
Tank you Roger for your beautiful music. Memomy in my heart for always.
So sorry to hear of earth’s loss of one of the all-time performers of much wonderful music.
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.
Dear Roger and Family
So very sorry for the loss of your beloved husband and father ♥️
What a wonderful inspiration you are Roger Whittaker - yes still are and always will be through your music, i am 64 years old and I listened to your music from many years ago which helped me through some dark times in my life, and the most wonderful thing also is that my children loved your music also - in particular we played your music on a weekend whilst we were doing Saturday chores etc and painting the walls x thank you so much x you Roger are a true legend ♥️ Rest in peace Sir ♥️
he was a truly talented person
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.
I AM SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT ROGER WHITTAKER HAS PASSED AWAY. HE WAS MY FAVOURITE SINGER AND MY FAVOURITE SONG OF HIS WAS THE LAST FAREWELL. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM BACK IN SEPTEMBER 1992 AT BBC RADIO MERSEYSIDE. HE WILL BE SADLY AND DEARLY MISSED. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL HIS FAMILY AND HIS WIFE NATALIE.
My prayers for Rogers family. My thanks to the Good Lord for all the joy Roger brought to the world. God bless
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.
