From all the students you blessed and touched over the years. I write these words of thanks from them.
Words, Thoughts and Memories of Mr. Robert W. Moody
Blessed are the merciful
For they shall obtain mercy
Blessed are the peace makers
For they shall be called the children of God
Blessed are the pour in spirit
For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they shall see God
He saw the best in us
When everyone else saw the worse
He was ours
And we were his
It didn't matter what we did
He seen us for who we were
He seen us for who we were to become
God gave Mr. Moody an awesome sense of vision
To see beyond what everyone else saw in us
That's what made his classes so special
When everyone else was nothing in us
Mr. Moody saw doctors, lawyer, preachers, teachers,
He saw us at our best
When all others could only see us at our worst
That's why we were his
It didn't matter what we did
He saw us beyond who we were
He taught from the heart
And not for a tag, title , tenure, or position
Taught us about life
About always striving to be the best we could be
Taught us the importance of education
Never stop learning
Learning something new everyday
Never settle for less
Always strive to be the best
Life lessons you never forget
How do you thank someone who imparted such wisdom ?
You thank them by letting them know you appreciate them, you cherish them,
You love them
The true measure of a life is not how long you live
But the people you touch along the way
The people Mr. Moody touched on his journey is to many to number
The wisdom he shared with us was priceless
The love he gave to his students boundless
The legacy he leave behind priceless
Every time we meant
Whether it was down by the river
Or at the dollar store
I always ended our conversation the same way and with these words
I love ya man.
As it was then
So it is now
I will end this tribute with those same words
I love ya man.

I will always remember watching Mr. Moody (and his old dog Thore) with big bags of fish after a day of fishing and showing us neighborhood kids how to clean them back in the day. Now I hope he's fishing in heaven with Thore and the Lord by his side.
God bless Mr. Moody and may his Family find comfort in memories and love.

Tribute to Mr. Robert W. Moody
We were his
It didn't matter what we did
He only seen us for who we were
He saw the best in us
When everyone else could only see the worst
He saw the best
When everyone thought we were educationally poor
He saw us educationally rich
When everyone thought we were culturally deprived
He saw us in the future as writers, lawyers, doctors, thinkers, preachers and teachers
He saw the best in us
When everyone wrote us off
He saw us as better than better
He saw us as not worse but best
When everyone else threw us away
He was always there to encourage us, teach us, make us laugh, and make us feel like we were somebody.
God gave him the vision to look beyond what everybody saw in us
To see the we
We would become
That was his gift
To see the best in us
Will miss his laughter
His jokes
His positive and encouraging spirit
Will miss him
If we take one thing from his life
Take this
Always encourage somebody
Always see the best in a person
Always be in the process of being
Always know that education is a twenty hour process
Always learn something new everyday
Never stop learning
Never stop giving
Never stop loving
Do as he did
See the best in a person
Love you much
My teacher
My mentor
My hero
And my friend
