He was a proud graduate of Parker High School, Class of 1954, where he humorously referred to his diploma as his "PHD."

He was a faithful member of Greenville Wesleyan Church, where he and Alice lovingly prepared countless meals for the congregation over the years. A man of strong faith, integrity, and commitment, Lester was deeply devoted to both his church and community. He also served his community alongside his wife, Alice, and daughter, Teresa, by delivering Meals on Wheels, a testament to his servant's heart. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time in nature. He was also a proud member of the Studebaker Car Club and Berea Lions Club. Lester treasured family vacations, especially trips to the Isle of Palms with his beloved Alice. Above all, he loved his family fiercely and was deeply loved in return. He was a wonderful man who lived a life marked by faith, hard work, and unwavering family values. He will be missed beyond measure, but his memory and legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He is survived by daughter, Teresa Stoecker; and brother, Kenneth Moon. In addition to his beloved wife and parents, he was preceded in death by son-in-law, Jim Stoecker; brothers, Charles Moon, Paul Moon, Earl Moon, Wallace Moon, and Robert Moon.
