Together they raised 3 sons, 1 daughter, and 3 nephews. They were blessed with numerous grandchildren. Roy was very cultural. He would attend all ceremonies including powwows, sundances, chicken dances, etc. Roy had his own sweat lodge and shortly before his passing was telling his son, Nathan, that he will need to take his lodge and teaching. In his pasttime, he loved watching U.F.C. boxing and playing bingo and going to the casino.
