One thing anyone who knew Judge Moon would tell you is he never forgot his roots.
He'd be the first one to say he grew up poor...and the Boys and Girls Club helped steer him in the right direction.
That's why the club and the young people it serves will be a part of his legacy.
Judge Moon's time with the Chattanooga Boys and Girls Club started early...and continued right up to this death.
He told us himself back in 2006 how a scholarship from club president Ron Osborne changed his life.
He said, "Well, as My grandmother said..if Ron Osborne hadn't done that..I'd have been in court...just on the other side of the bench."
Current president Michael Cranford remembers the impact the Boys and Girls Club had on his friend's life.
He's known Judge Moon through the youth organization since 1968.
Cranford says, "He was just a man that was passionate about his community cared about the people and he demonstrated it through his actions."
Cranford tells me he saw first hand how the East Lake native's childhood influenced his attitude toward the community...particularly those who came before his bench.
Cranford, "He had a special relationship with young people and especially young people who came from difficult and disadvantaged circumstances. He championed a lot of things that would help them. That's probably going to be the biggest loss."
It's a loss that resonates with Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield.
Mayor Ron Littlefield, "He was one of those success stories that came out of an environment that was not unlike my environment. Growing up in a Mill Community. East Lake was that kind of community. I grew up in that kind of community and Bob did well and he never forgot his roots."
And there's no doubt this community will never forget him.
One of the programs Judge Moon will be remembered for is Tie Day.
He started it after a young man showed up in court with no tie and told him he didn't even know how to tie one.
The judge got ties donated and had community leaders teach young men how to tie a tie.
