As a child, I grew up listening to Roger. My mum would play him in the car and at home. His songs always bring back memories of a happy childhood. I am still in awe of his whistle!
Thank you for this gift. Rest in peace Roger

Natalie. I'm sorry to hear the news of Rogers passing.
I thought you were both a lovely couple and had a great family.
I still recall the time I took you both and Boris to the Vets in Toulouse. Best wishes Mark & Louise.

I am filled with profound sadness. His voice has filled our home for 49 years. No one else can fill those shoes.

Your songs were an accompaniment to much of my childhood as my parents listened to them on the radio or albums. And I loved them too. As an adult they can still move me and I can find myself humming or whistling them. A last farewell mr. Whittaker, rest in peace and thank you so much for all the wonderful music you have given us.

My father, who passed away a decade ago, was not a man of music in any sense. However, while busy making or fixing or arranging or putting up something, we kids would frequently hear him whistle a Whittaker tune or two. It was his happy mode.
