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 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.

In the fullness of Time this wonder-filled beautiful soul came upon the stage of life, blessed with such a beautiful voice, and Divinely given voice, and whistle!
Roger Whittaker is now forever “Home” in the holy presence of his Father, singing “Alleluia, ”as also one day we all shall be!
Roger Whittaker, Well done, God’s good and faithful son.
Amen! and Amen, and Amen!

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.

At work I sang the song new world in the morning a fortnight ago, when a colleague walked by and said; that's from Roger Whittaker! 'Yes' I said, 'my greatest hero for 50 years!'... 'he recently passed away...' said my colleague. When I heard that, I was devastated...

I am very so sad to hear of Roger Whittaker's passing. He was such a unique talent. I remember him on television in the '70's, his catchy songs and avuncular persona. Seeking out these songs online a few years ago, I discovered his German 'schlager' music. I found myself listening to these songs over and over, even though I have no understanding of the lyrics. There is a joyous, happy quality about this music that is soothing in such an uncertain world. As a musician myself, I really appreciate his versatility and artistry. My condolences to his family and friends.

Songs that will live deep in the heart of those who loved Roger. My only regret is that I never saw him in concert. I promised my daughter that we would. She was about 5 at the time. She loved him too. I hope there’s a ship lying rigged and ready in the harbour to sail this legend home
