The Bakersfield Californian 
Moon, Joseph Leroy     
1927 - 2005 
 
Joseph Leroy Moon 
July 12, 1927 - Nov. 28, 2005 

Joe was born July 12, 1927, in Hector, New York. He had a normal childhood 
with a good work ethic instilled in him by his parents, Ernest and Elizabeth 
Moon. He joined the Navy after high school in 1945. During which time he met 
and married Helen Neal. They moved to Ontario, California where he went to 
work for Armstrong Nurseries around 1950. The family was transferred to Wasco, 
CA, in 1955 where he eventually became Production Supervisor over the Rose 
Dept. He stayed in the rose business until 1993, when a slight heart attack 
forced him to retire. Joe and Helen then moved to Bakersfield to be closer to 
their physicians. He loved singing, dancing and bowling, but most of all he 
loved his wife of 58 years, Helen, who preceded him in death on March 14, 
2005. Also preceding him in death were his parents; his son-in-law, Frank 
Wheeler and great-granddaughter, Nicole Barnett. He is survived by his son, 
Larry Moon; daughter-in-law, Jane Moon of Bakersfield; daughter, Chris Wheeler 
and daughter, Thelma and son-in-law, Charles Tatum of Wasco, CA; 5 
grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. The family 
has requested a private graveside ceremony for family only. In lieu of 
flowers, please make donations in his name to Optimal Hospice of Bakersfield.
