My husband and I discovered Roger and his melodic music not long after we got married in the early 1970’s. We bought cassette tapes of his songs and would play them all the time! Once our daughters we would play the songs for them. Whenever we would go on a road trip we would all be singing along as we traveled down the road! These are some of the sweetest memories our family has! Whenever we hear Roger’s songs we are Immediately transported to those treasured memories! Thank you, Roger, for sharing yourself and your talent with the world. You definitely left an indelible mark and legacy!

With heavy heart I just discovered the loss of Roger Whittaker. As we travel life’s road there are stages we go through & there are people in those stages that influence us & leave an impression along the way. As they pass before us it is like that part of our life has also sadly passed along with them. Roger is one of those wonderful kind & gentle influences in my life for so long. RIP Mr. Whittaker as heaven’s gain is our loss but thankfully your songs will live on with us all. God Bless you & peace to your family at this time of sadness but also a time to celebrate & remember a pure talent that you generously shared with us all.

I have just found out the sad news on Google that Roger has left this mortal coil and its impact on me has been profound.
He had been such an influential part of my young and old life, songs and music, for what seemed like an eternity, I never gave thought to a time when he would not be here.
My wife Anne and I had our picture taken with Roger when he sang at University College Limerick, after we had met Natalie and had a lengthy chat re Roger's voice...
He did not need to sing that night, his charisma and presence filled the theatre to its rafters.
We will never forget the gift of song he has given, or how lucky we were that night just to be there.
Thank you does not seem enough, or no amount of condolences appropriate, but in our hearts we feel your pain.

I just found out today that Mr. Whittaker passed away a few weeks ago. I have on several occasions asked radio stations in the Twin Cities and Omaha, Nebraska, to play "The Last Farewell" as a dedication song in memory of a couple of friends whom I knew during my time in the Army and Navy who have passed away. It touches me in ways that other songs can't.
It has a timeless appeal that will provide listening enjoyment to all who enjoy good music.

Mit Worten den Verlust zu beschreiben, ist nicht möglich. Ich bin hinter dem Eisernem Vorhang (GDR) aufgewachsen und kann mich noch sehr gut an eine LP von der ZDF-Hitparade erinnern, auf der sein Song „Albany“ drauf war. Seitdem war und bin ich ein sehr großer Fan von Roger. Jedes Mal, wenn ich ein Live-Konzert eines anderen Künstlers besuchte, rief und rufe ich „Albany“ als Wunsch für einen zu spielenden Song, als Tribute für Roger - Lieber Roger, herzlichen Dank für das großartige Geschenk an uns. Für uns lebst Du und das, was Du uns mit deinen Liedern geben/vermitteln wolltest für IMMER in jenen Songs weiter. miss u

My wife and I had the wonderful experience of seeing Roger perform in the USA about 18 years ago. I've always loved listening to him sing on the many CDs that I have. I hope his website continues to be on-line forever. It's very nice to see all of the wonderful comments about Roger on his website.

I will miss Roger Whittaker as he was one my my favorite artists. I had the plesure of seeing him in concert in November 1999. It was absolutely wonderful. I am comforted when I listen to Roger's usic. I always find it difficult to know wht to say at times like this, but I know and agree that heaven has indeed gained another angel.

I first heard Roger in the 1960s with his noted whisteling - he was a favorite of my late wife and we saw him many times in concert. The world has lost a treasure but heaven has gained an angel!
My sincerest condolences to his family.
May he rest in peace.

Hearing of Roger Whittaker's unfortunate passing. I felt compelled to say something on this page. I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s and always enjoyed listening to his songs in those formative years. This man always delivered great songs, songs, that i personally never tire of listening to all these years later. Roger Whittaker's CDs are always with me in the car, his songs are so special to me.
Roger Whittaker is a legend.

Dear Dear Roger,
It is very hard to believe and accept that a month has already passed since you left us all; grieving and sad in our hearts that we can no longer see you and laugh and hug and chat. It has been over fifty wonderful years; thank you!
You are always always in our hearts.
You have left the world a kinder gentler place where just the mention of your name brings smiles to faces.
God Bless and keep you safe in His arms Dear Roger.
Rest in Peace.
