He was one of the original philatelic journalists. Moens was an Honorary Member of the Fiscal Philatelic Society until his death. Jean-Baptiste Moens died in Ixelles in 1908 and was interred there in the Ixelles Cemetery. His passing was noted by the philatelic press, many referring to him as The Father of Philately.)
