Your music has touched my soul since my parents introduced me to you back in the 1970s. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world - singing, whistling, storytelling - all so brilliant.
"So when you cry, don't grieve for me or for days that used to be. Don't you ever cry in sorrow. Cry with joy that we could feel love that is forever real, love so many only borrow."
For I loved you.
Rest in peace, Mr. Whittaker.

Roger's voice and his ability to create such evocative songs is his true legacy. His whistling on the "Sky Boat Song" with Des O'Connor is pure magic. RIP Roger, we'll miss you. Sincere condolences to Natalie and their family.

R.I.P. You will be dearly missed. My Mom was one of your greatest fans. She passed away 22 years ago. I grew up with your lovely songs. Wished I could show my Mom all the wonderful stuff I found today. What a fantastic whistler and entertainer! We met in a mall nearby once, where you gave us an autograph. My Mom was shocked you don't speak fluent German. You're songs in German are so well performed 😀 All the strength to your family members and close friends. Feel tightly hugged. Legends never die.

I was first introduced to Roger's music when I was still in diapers. I grew up loving his music. I always dreamed of seeing him in concert but wasn't old enough the last time he came to the States. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. My favorite song will always be I am but a Small Voice.

Please accept my sincere condolences to the Whittakers. I have been a fan of Roger's since 1977, when I saw him advertising his music on American TV. I believe he pioneered this form of advertising. We will miss you. But your message prevails in your music!

Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
I saw Roger perform at the Marin Veteran Hall in 1976 when I was 16. I am now 65 and I have cherished his music for decades. I certainly hope Roger was indeed a good man, good husband and father.
