Mr. Moon was a U.S. Army veteran, longtime member of the Cullman Elks Lodge, a Mason and Shriner. He was also a member of St. John’s United Evangelical Protestant Church. Mr. Moon was a well-known colorful character around town, always having a story to tell. He was well traveled, and a very successful business man, having business interests from Las Vegas to West Virginia, but he always returned to Cullman which he loved so much. He had a big heart and was generous to all who came in contact with him, especially his family. He was fun to be around and loved to share his experiences with anyone who would listen. He will be missed by all who knew him.
