After the war, Sog returned to the Tahlequah area and began his ranching career. On April 21, 1972, Sog married Lena Mae (McAlister) Seay. Sog was the father of three daughters, Margaret, Sharon and Debbie. Sog worked hard on the ranch, and when he had a little free time, he would play a game of dominoes. Sog was happy just to spend an afternoon with his family, sharing a laugh and relaxing.

Sog was a Christian by faith and was called to his eternal home on December 9, 2010 in Tahlequah with his family at his side. Sog was 84 years old. He will be greatly missed by his many family and friends.
