Ein herzliches Beileid der Familie Whittaker
Die Musik von Roger begleitete mich seit über 40 Jahren, ob bei Familienfeiern, allein in der Küche oder im Auto. Ohne Roger ging nichts. Seine Lieder haben mir immer viel Kraft gegeben. Ich höre sie immer noch gern. Thank you for the Musik - Ruhe in Frieden

When I was a young man, I first saw commercials of Mr. Whittaker’s music on one of those Time-Life type ads. I was in awe that until then, I had not heard of him. Ever since, I have loved his music and was hoping to catch him in concert. Thank you sir for such wonderful music. Those songs will forever be in my playlist.

There are a few people who impact us without meeting. For Roger Whittaker was such a Kenyan. A warm, wild, and free Soul who loved his home and owned the memories of a great people of Kenya.
My favourite Album he gave us was the Music Safari with great tunes. My Land is Kenya hitting a really warm cord in our hearts.
He also loved the Railways as a passenger and many other scenic moments he gave vivid description.
We cry with you at Shimoni and when we think of the earth environment crisis. We also mourn his demise and say farewell as he says good bye to the Indian Lady. We whistle
But we know you have gone to that Higher place you described where someone else now picks those phones. Durham town may also be behind you we Whistle in great disbelief
Rest well Mheshimiwa kikiyan i Kararan chichi iman. Rest well Elder you have a Golden heart and you are a real Burning Spear.
May your memory be a blessing to all.

Roger was and indeed still is a legend. There's a great bouncy, little ditty which sadly wasn't publicly released on vinyl but is on YouTube. It's called Oh Life and always cheers me up. Take a moment to listen.
Rest In Eternal Peace Roger

So sad to read the news in a Norwegian newspaper just now. I grew up listening to his records as my mother also was a fan. I still get a wave of wonderful childhood memories rushing over me whenever I listen to one of his songs. His voice so dark, but warm and inviting. His songs and recordings will live on.

How very sad. I grew up listening to his records booming out of the radiogram. My Dad and I often fell into fits of laughter, trying to copy his famous whistle. My Mum singing along and playing his songs on her guitar, Dad on the zither.... I know people don't live forever and his music lives on but the memories, oh the memories that came flooding back when I heard this news.... Sincere condolences to Roger's family. Rest in peace Sir x
