Roy and Beanie started a family in 1964 with the birth of Roy Thomas Mould III and followed by Jeffery Scot Mould in 1968. Monica Pedroza, a family member from Mexico was added in 1973. Roy's adult years would show similar accomplishments and challenges to his childhood.

He continued to experience and overcome significant health challenges but true to form, Roy persevered and succeeded. Roy and Beanie bought a home in Oak Park Illinois and were once again part of a great neighborhood for raising their family. Roy and Beanie moved to Morton Grove in retirement as Roy retired from the Chicago Board of Education after 35 years. They eventually moved to Minnesota in 2013 to be close to their two sons and to support their daughter in law Dawn Mould who was battling cancer. During Roy's teenage years he came to know Jesus Christ in a personal way and he would hold onto his faith to his dying day. Roy served in youth work, church work, Sunday School, Lake Geneva Youth Camp and in many quiet ways. Roy was loving and generous with his family, extended family and those around him who needed help.
