Roy Curtis was born on July 3, 1950 to Wilfred and Violet Curtis of Springdale. Roy married the love of his life, Pansy Spencer, on March 21, 1970.

Roy enjoyed life to the fullest. As a young man, some of his hobbies were playing soccer, playing hockey, and tying flies. His passionate hobbies that stayed with him through the years were hunting, fishing, playing guitar, and singing and of course watching the Leafs.
