Officiating the services will be Pastor D. R. Griffin. Interment will be at

Monroe. Mr. Moy departed this life on October 15, 2014, surrounded by his 
loving family, at St. Francis Medical Center, due to medical complications.

Home. A Service of Remembrance will commence at 5:00 pm on Sunday.

Mr. Moy was born April 23, 1926 to the union of Mose Moy Sr. and Birdie 
(Talton) Moy in Ouachita Parish (Walls Lake), Louisiana. In the late 1940's, 
he became a member of what was then known as Zion Hill Third Colored Baptist 
Church. He was a devoted Deacon and faithful member until illness prevented 
his attendance.

In December of 1949 he married his sweetheart, Helen R. Sims. To this union 
four children were born. Mr. Moy enjoyed his children and looked forward to 
their Saturday night excursions with "Daddy" to Five Points for ice cream 
and Sunday afternoon swimming at the Marble Recreation Center pool. He was 
an avid sports fan, particularly baseball, and he always enjoyed rooting for 
his favorite baseball team which often was whoever was playing at the time. 
He also loved assisting his wife in the kitchen and he was also known for 
his cooking, especially barbecuing which he enjoyed doing for family and 
friends. Another great love for Leo was his daily visits with his twin, 
Cleo. They were an inseparable twosome.

Mr. Moy was a hard worker, holding down various jobs throughout his 
lifetime. Back in the day, he was a popular Lotus Club cook and functioned 
as an in demand contracted server for social functions and parties 
throughout Monroe. He also provided janitorial and maintenance services in 
businesses and private homes, including a private home employment that 
turned into a lasting friendship with Saul Mintz (deceased), Jean Mintz, and 
family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers, W.C., Mose, Jr., 
Zarela, Albert David, and a short-lived infant; and several half brothers 
and sisters.

He leaves to cherish his memories: wife, Helen; four children, Kenneth Moy 
(Carolyn), and Sharon Moy, Monroe, LA; Donald Moy and Kevin Moy, Dallas, TX; 
two brothers, Cleo Moy, Monroe, LA; Perlum Moy (Kate), Jacksonville, FL; 
three grandchildren, Dartanyon Moy (ReSherri), Monroe, LA; Keith Moy 
(Cassandra), Denver, CO; and Deidra Moy, Shreveport, LA; eight great 
grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, and many other loving 
relatives.
