Moy worked in various jobs: The Town of Pagosa Springs, The Elkhorn Cafe, and for Sears. He loved feeding the wild birds and watching them enjoy his food offering. He also enjoyed word puzzles and western movies. Moy always pampered his trucks - He treasured his 1996 Dodge Pickup - it was his pride and joy.
