While there, he met the love of his life, Mary. He was one of the original founding members of Korean Church of Dallas (Dallas Yon Hap Church) in 1966.

He served on the board of the country club for many years. After retiring, Mr. Moon enjoyed serving on a local Meals on Wheels team, taking trips to his beach house named Sea Rock in Crystal Beach, Texas, and watching the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers. He had a weekly routine of visiting the elderly, delivering Meals on Wheels, attending church, and stopping at Ko-Mart to pick up his favorite Korean food. He was always happy to share a special Korean snack with his wife, children, sons-in-law, and grandchildren.
