Robert Moawad

He was very kind to me when I was in my early 20's and I asked him if he'd let me wash & wax his car to get the Tapes of Increasing Human Effectiveness. I am now, 66 and I still have those tapes. I found out about him through the Pierce County Library Tapeline where one could hear & learn about different things. I, also, have the Time Management Tapes for doing one of the other people's cars that worked for Bob. His car I waxed, at that time was a, 450 SLC Mercedes. My grandmother came...

I just learned of Bob's passing. My first memory of Bob was when he played tenor sax with the local rock n roll band in Longview, Wa in the early 60s. He came to Central and quickly became well known and well liked. And, in addition to his great presence on the basketball court, he still played a mean sax. I remember taking tickets when his band played in Yakima. I last saw Bob in early 64. Around 1995, I was doing contract computer programming in San Antonio, Tx and Bob came to the...

To the Moawad Family,
I was deeply touched by the passing of Mr. Moawad. My condolence to the family.
I appreciate the legacy he left, and hold it dear and close.

¡Que en Paz descanse y que Dios lo Guarde!

To the Moawad family,
thank you so much for blessing me with one of the most influential people in my life. Bobcat and Trevor have given me the will to do anything I want to in life. There is only one other sole in the world that has done this and Bob is with him now. Sorry that I wasn't able to make the ceremony, but I will always have a relationship with Bob that many could only dream of. The legacy of a great person is always passed down in a person that most reflects oneself,...

It is not possible to describe the tremendous impact Bob has had on hundreds of thousands of young people in the JROTC program over the past 20 years. Both the Army and the Air Force embraced Edge Learning Institute’s Unlocking Your Potential series and used it to motivate high school students to reach levels of achievement they did not know were possible. Bob was magic on tape and was a movie star to our JROTC Cadre and Cadets. He will be sorely missed but will live on in his message. His...

Dear Moawad family,
I never knew Bob personally, but learned of him, through numerous people, who were touched by his positive outlook, humor, dedication, and drive to make this a better world. Like a rock thrown into a pool of water, the good he did rippled countless times, touching people's lives... some he might never have known. So even though these may be difficult times for you all, this time is a gift....open each tribute, and read how he changed so many lives for the better. God...

Attitude is Everything!
I was 17 years old and the starting defensive end for the Columbia River Chieftains. We were a state caliber playoff team and ranked 3rd in Washington State. We narrowly lost to the Sumner Spartans in the state quarterfinals and Sumner went on to win the State Championship that year. Our defensive set records that are still in place today and personally, I won second team all conference honors. It was a year that profoundly impacted my life forever and here’s...

Andrea & family, I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you. I just heard about Bob and am so sorry for you and your family. When my husband was diagnosed with cancer and it was announced in the newspaper, Bob was one of the first to call him. I guess it was their coaching connection and the fact they were both CWU alum. Ironically, shortly after that we found out Bob was diagnosed with the same cancer. I remember his calls to my husband specifically, but he would always ask...

Dear Andi,
We are completely saddened by Bob's death. Last night as I read some of the beautiful notes of condolence we wanted to let you know how we remember Bob.
The circumstances were not from hearing him speak (actually we had never heard of him and I think he liked the fact that he could quietly fit in with the fellow inmates at "Camp Little Rock".
My husband Jim and Bob were inmates together in treatment for Multiple Myeloma. He was the encourager with his quick wit, neat...
