Joseph "Joe" E. Moon

Born on June 29, 1957 in Logansport, he was the son of the late H. Philip and Della (Wood) Moon.

He was a 1975 Winamac High School graduate.

On April 29, 1978 he married Debra S. Reinholt, she survives.

Joe was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran faith in 1987 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Owensboro, Kentucky.

Joe was a gifted and devoted Machine Specialist working for Cryovac/Sealed Air for over 30 years.

He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish, trap and camp.  Joe recently retired and found peace and happiness fishing in Florida, spending time with his family and just “tinkering”.  He loved being a Pappy and enjoyed any opportunity to have fun with his grandchildren at the farm.  Joe was proud to have spent his life on his family farm and took immense pride in keeping it maintained.  

Joe was a stranger to none and a friend to all. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need and was always willing help.

Joe was so very loved, and loved so very much.
