“The Last Farewell” to a legend …. So many memories growing up listening to records and eight track tapes with my PopPop. Had the opportunity to see him in concert once. I was by far the youngest audience member but knew every word to every song by heart. Continue whistling like no other can.

My wife & I saw him perform 3 times & Every show was spectacular. He was such a gifted man. I've never heard anyone whistle like he did. He was an English gentleman. I read his book decades ago, and I admired him immensely. He was truly a world entertainer. I shall miss him greatly.

I saw Roger in Providence, RI in the early 1980s. What a storyteller!
I got to meet him afterwards and found him a complete gentleman.
Godspeed Roger.

I loved his voice and his music and his personality. My late Father used to play Roger's music over and over and our family loved his songs. Thank you Roger for your life and music and God bless you and your family.

I was intrigued by Roger’s music many years ago because he is the only other man I have ever heard who could whistle like my Dad! Beyond that, I think that I may have been on the EAR&H railroad to Nairobi for school at some of the same times that Roger was as I went to school at Kijabe, Kenya for 2 years in the early 1960’s. I love his music and his style of singing. I have been to 2 live concerts and was thoroughly impressed that he of course sounded better in person than in recordings. I especially liked his songs about Kenya. I am sad to hear about his passing away. My sincere condolences to his family.

At 45, I was too young to enjoy Roger in his heyday, although we always have a soft spot for him here in the north-east, where his confusion of the Tyne and Wear in Old Durham Town (no doubt because it rhymed better) was the subject of much good-natured mirth. Rest in peace, Roger.

My late Dad introduced me to the music of Roger before he died in 1979 and Roger's music has lived with me ever since. It was a great joy to record "New world in the morning" for my first album. My sincere sympathies to all of Roger's family and his legions of fans. May Roger's soul rest in peace and may his music live forever 🙏
