Richard Arden Roop

Dick, still singing Karen Carpenter songs. Just wanted you to know.

Still miss Dick and the good times we had at the Royal Oaks. He loved playing music and he played good music. Hard to believe that its been five years.

Have fond memories of Dick and the fun we had performing music.

still think about Dick and the good times we had at the Royal Oak Supper Club. He taught me how to sing for two hours before taking a break. his silly jokes were always amusing because he told them so sweetly that you couldn't help but smile. we did a lot of Karen Carpenter because I sounded so much like her. We watched the Karen Carpenter story together and I will always cherish that memory. Beverly was a great wife and was his biggest supporter. I'm sure she misses him very much.

Dick used to play, "It Keeps You Running." I used to get a kick out if that! Very sorry to hear of Dick's passing and I send my deepest condolences to his family and all his many friends.

I met Richard at the Royal Oaks Supper Club where I became apart of his company of entertainers under another name. I worked with Richard for 4 years there and then did special appearances with him until I left Ohio in 1990.
He was a great guy and fun to work with. I will always remember that time in my life.
My condolences to his family
