Dearest Roger…
I am deeply saddened to hear of your passing. You will be remembered with so much love and kindness and during my childhood years my home was filled with your beautiful music.

Another book of history closes. For those of us who grew up with you in Kenya, we are so proud to have known you. Your music follows us always. Regardless of where I live, I always have a CD in my car - makes me feel close to home to hear your amazing voice. Rest in eternal peace. Warm virtual hugs to your family at this unbearably sad time.

Thank you for everything you gave of yourself.
Your music will forever be with me and I have LP's on the record shelf so you will never be forgotten.
Now you can whistle on for those who are in your place in the world.

Poleni sana for this loss. May he rest in eternal peace.
His song "my land is Kenya" would be played on radio by my father during our road trips through the countryside when we were growing up.

My husband Charles and I are so deeply sorry to hear of Roger's death. He has been a favorite singer of mine since I first heard him in the 1970's. We only had the opportunity to see him in person three times but I have worn out several cassettes and CD's of his music. May he rest in peace and spend eternity adding his wonderful voice to the choir of angels.

I have been a fan of Roger’s for almost 50 years. He has kept me company in my car as a sales person everyday for 40 years. I have never gotten tired of his music and his beautiful voice. I’ve seen him almost 20 times in concert and was able to meet him a few times. I think I have almost every song he’s had recorded in my IPhone. That includes some of the German songs. This is a very sad day. May his memory always be a blessing.

Many of his songs have accompanied me since my childhood
and again a really big one leaves the stage
and again you realize that we are all transitory and we are all just guests on this earth..
no matter who and what we are
Thank you for the beautiful songs, which gave me courage, strength, joy and beautiful moments in different phases of my life
rest in peace

R I P dear Roger !

My parents played Roger Whittaker’s songs from when I was a small baby and there is no other voice that makes me feel so at ease. Whenever I hear The last farewell and close my eyes, my mind is transcending to a sacred place of joyful memories, where my grandparents and familiy members are alive and happy. Forever thankful for this eternal gift, it means a lot.
