Mary Jane, Marty Sr, Marty Jr, Larry and Kathy…Norm and I send our deepest sympathy in the loss of Steve. We are shocked and heartbroken that he left us so early. We have so many fond memories from our childhood, high school and watching him develop into a strong, loving, role model to our community. 
We often reflect back to our high school days and the class of 77. We chuckle as the memories flash back like it was just yesterday. 
We wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Life for the survivors has changed but someday will all reunite. God Bless to all of you!  💔

Steve was a great man raised by a great family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Roop family at this difficult time.  God bless you all.

Elaine, Mary Jane, Marty and the rest of the extended Roop Family.  My heartfelt condolences.  Steve´s passing is felt across the Atlantic  and he has been in my thoughts ever since I found out.   After not seeing Steve for years my younger Brother and I met up with him last December while I was in town for my Father´s funeral.   We can never make up for Lost time but we did have a good time catching up on our Lives.  We had a good visit in a couple Rooper´s locations and had Lunch together.  It was obvious that Steve was proud of his Family which was a Major part of his Life.  Looking at the pictures posted there will be many good memories to carry us through a Lifetime. 

My most sincere condolences to all of you. I hope his memories bring you comfort in the months to come.  Hugs. - Sandi (Curtis) Dupre

To the Roop family,,, it was a pleasure knowing Steve. He certainly was larger than life. What a kind and generous man. I will always remember the fun times!! I will also take a page from the book of Steve, and continue to pay things forward for our community. May you all stay healthy and enjoy life as he did. God bless 

Dear Elaine and family,

A great man who made a difference! God bless your family during this terrible loss.. He will be deeply missed. RIP Roop, love you.

My deepest sympathies to the Room family. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Our Deepest Sympathy to All of the Roop Family Thank You Steve for your Friendship the wonderful times growing up in Lisbon together Best Times Ever !! Your business venture was a true sign of what you loved to do your leadership was hands down the Best ! Every Roopers  I walked in was very friendly, helpful, your presence shined clearly. I would always ask is the President in and they would always laugh . (Thanks for setting the Bar High on who you were Steve) a lesson for All Of Us! Cheers My Friend 

My condolences to you, Elaine, your extended family, friends, and all those who will surely miss Steve.  My heart goes out to all of you.  WOW!  What a man! "Bigger than Life!"  And what a tragic loss.  It's certainly a shame, however, that Steve didn't get a chance to enjoy the fruits of all his hard work and accomplishments.  Great quotes in the obituary - so well written with a lot of thought and effort that went into it - including those quotes of Steve's, especially "dysfunctional/ functional"!  What a Great way to look at life and all that it presents us with.  The obit is a  wonderful memorial to Steve, as will be the nice weekend you've planned for Steve's send off.  When my Daughter & I  were leaving the hospital after my Father's passing, Lara said, "Well Dad, Grampy now knows something that we don't!"  What a trip and adventure!  That's my thinking.  Take good care!  Yours sincerely, "Gidge" Talarico

My condolences to Elaine and to the entire Roop family. I’ll always remember Steve’s smile, contagiously positive attitude, enthusiasm, and absolute genuine nature. Steve had a way making you feel better about life. In business he took charge, yet valued and respected others. He was a true leader, not only in entrepreneurship, but as a person. God rest his soul and bless his family in their loss.

Dear Elaine and Family. Our deepest sympathy . We’ll be praying for God’s strength and comfort in the coming days for you and your family. Love and prayers. 🙏🏿♥️

Steve was a very kind person. He will be remembered.

We are all better for having you in our lives. 

Forever Grateful we crossed paths. See you on the other side 

My deepest condolences to the Roop family. Steve was just always around from when i was a teen to when i saw him 3 weeks ago. . We would see each other and he would immediately ask hows Popeye, hows mom and dad. He was always willing to give an ear for five minutes. I was fortunate enough to play a few rounds of golf with Steve and Mr. Roop.  I've been at dinners with Steve and Tastings he was always around.  Marshall and Steve would be conjuring up the next scheme and Steve would start to talk about my grampa and Uncle.  When my wife was giving birth at the hospital, guess who was there yup Steve, Steph was having a baby right down the hall, I will miss Steve not around. 

The good lord took another great one from us to soon ,my deepest condolences to the roop family ,I had the privilege to play against Steve in softball he was always bigger then life ,helped me in business when he was starting out on Sabattus St. Always had a smile to give left a legacy once again sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Roop family.   Our memories go back as far as Lisbon High School,  and watched Steve create a successful Business.  Thinking of Marty and your entire family.   Pam  and Fred Hall

I am very sorry to hear about your loss and you have my sympathy and prayers. I just talked to Steve this past summer and we talked about standing back and letting others take over so we could relax and enjoy life. He really enjoyed what he was doing and he always talked about how good his employees were. He will be missed.

So very sorry about Steve's passing.  I played alot of ball with and against the Roop brothers and had great respect for them as both teammates and competitors. Steve built up a highly sucessful business through grit and determination and did it the right way. I was in a Rooper's store yesterday and I could tell his employees loved him. He did so much for good causes in the area because he truely wanted to. His memory will live on. Sincerest condolences to his family.     Pete Waterman, Sabattus

To the Roop Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.  I was very sad to hear the news today.  I used to work with Steve at Philips Elmet many years ago.  He used to come into our department to say hello to us and tell jokes.  He was a great guy!  I hope that your happy memories bring you peace & comfort in time.  
       Love & Hugs,
        Patty Peters xoxo

To the Roop Family,
