I LOVED HIM. A GREAT GUY, HE WAS MY HOME ROOM AND BIOLOGY TEACHER IN 1968-1972 SO VERY SPECIAL TO ME. SO SAD TO HEAR OF HIS PASSING.
I am Frank Roop’s daughter, and I just want you all to know how sorry we are, and that our prayers are with you. My Dad truly adored, and admired Coach. I’ve heard so many stories about him, both newer and older. He loved him so much, and he is and will be missed dearly.
Sending love and prayers for you both, Debbie and Jessie.

George and I offer our deepest sympathies to Debbie and the family. May God comfort you in this sad time.
So sorry to hear about Coach. He became a little kid’s hero when he began his career at Iaeger High. He was like a father figure to me as mine had passed a few years earlier. May GOD comfort the family.

Deanna and I are sorry for your loss. You all are in our thoughts and prayers
