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 with me back to deliver his car so she could ride in such a nice car. He was very kind to us both.
I will never forget his Kindnesses.
Like him, I am a Musician (Keys, Trumpet, etc.) and write Christian Music, now and a Retired Commercial Photographer.

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 company I was contracting with to give his motivation talk. I stood in the back of the room and "got motivated". Afterwards, I approached the podium where he was talking to some of the company officers and he looked up and without any hesitation said "hi Ben". I could not do that after 10 years, but he did it after 30 years. He will be missed.

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, and that is a best friend in Trevor. Though physically he is not here, I think that spiratually he will continue to keep us together. This is what family is. I love you all and I write this in remembrance on behave of one of God's greatest children. Cleetus

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 influence will be felt for generations after the rest of us are long forgotten. He is truly a national treasure.
Andrea, I only met you briefly and kept up with your family through Rod and Sharon. I know you have a wonderful family and friends. That, coupled with Bob’s attitude and outlook on life, will help you through these tough times. God bless you and your family.

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 bless you all with peace, comfort, and loving memories. He lives on now in people's hearts.

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 why…
Before we began that successful season we prepared our bodies and our minds for a championship. For our body, the entire team took ballet lessons from Noreen Kimball a local dance instructor and former Radio City Rockette. That training taught us agility and balance to support our power and strength. To prepare our minds we took a two week class from the Pacific Learning Institute (Edge Learning Institute) on PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). We training our minds to think and dwell on positive images. We set goals, we visualized our desire future, and we wrote and rehearsed positive affirmations.
Over the years, I have grown to realize and appreciate the impact of those two weeks during that hot August back in 1977. My instructor was
Robert A. “Bob” Moawad, who “turned his teaching and coaching talents into an international training and motivational enterprise”, he died of cancer at his Lakewood home last month. He was 65. “Those who knew the multitalented motivator, entertainer, speaker, coach and educator remember Moawad’s ability to change people’s lives.”
…He changed mine!

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 how I was holding up? Just hearing his upbeat voice would make me quit feeling sorry for myself. Where your husband was more outgoing and could talk about the issues, my husband was more quiet when it came to his disease. I remember when Bob wanted Wayne to go to this special seminar or workshop about people with Multiple Myeloma my husband refused. I believe at the time he still hadn't accepted it yet. I guess everyone has their own way of dealing with things. I had also known Bob before as he was my teacher at Central Kitsap and he coached my brother, Bill Damschen, to the basketball playoffs in 1969. He was a remarkable teacher, as well as mentor and coach, with an extraordinary amount of energy. Andrea, if anyone knows what your going thru, it's me. I have often thought about writing a book about my husband's ordeal. Maybe we should do it together. Please know that my heart is with your family and if you would like to talk please email me. I would love to talk with you. May God be with you.

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 little cards he passed around. We each have the cross he gave us.
How far reaching was his encouragement? Last month our granddaughter reminded me of a quote I heard from Bob. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift-that's why it's call "the present". She wanted to use it in a talk about emotional health at St. Bernard Prep School. When she asked who originated it I had the opportunity to tell her about our good friend Bob, an encourager even in the darkest valley of his life.
So I leave you with this: grieve with hope because the cancer has been defeated,he is with the Lord and we will meet again.
Hug on your grand children and go ski!
Love, Gloria and Jim Edwards

Dear Moawad Family,
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Bob many years ago when he was associated with The Pacific Institute. I worked there also for a peroid of time. I am writing to express to you my condolences in Bob's passing. Though he is not with us physically, he remains with us in our hearts and souls. He will be remembered by so many for his kindnesses and inspiration. As I am sure you know, Bob was collaborating with Ellensburg Children's Musical Theater and Donna Nylander about depicting Bob and and the inspiration he brought to so many in the play that is being done. I have been asked by Donna to be Bob's character in the Play. I want you to know that I am honored to have been asked and that we will do our very best to have Bob come through in all that is said and done. I am familiar with the concepts that Bob has taught through the years and with many of the sayings which he employed. Know that you and Bob are in our prayers. May God's abundant blessing be with you.

Dear Moawad Family,
My deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, a man who so positively affected so many lives. I was fortunate to "know" Bob through the Increasing Human Effectiveness seminar that I facilitated for my company. So many of my "learnings" were taught by him. For that I am forever grateful. As I learned of Bob's passing I just finished re-reading the book, Tuesdays with Morrie about the life of Morrie Schwartz. Morrie had the following phrase on his tombstone and it reminded me of who Bob was. "A teacher to the last". May happy memories of Bob and the impact his life made on others bring you comfort at this time.

Dear Moawad family,
Few individuals will ever positively impact as many people as Bob did. In many ways, he helped guide me on my own profesional path and mentored me along the way. He will be missed by all of us and carried in our hearts for decades to come.
Warmly,

Thank you to all whom have taken the time to share both your thoughts and memories with our family! It is great to read so many amazing things. Somehow, someway - I thought MoBob would beat this, but I'm so blessed that he lives on through so many of you. He never viewed himself as any one of particular stature - just a 'human becoming' who loved what he did. He would be amazed to see the impact he has had on so many. To quote my father: "May the best of 2006, be the worst of 2007."
positively,

Hi Bobby, Trevor and Andrea,
Thanks for allowing Karin and I to experience MoBob's life- celebration yesterday. Bobby and Trevor, I'm sure your dad is very proud of you both...your ability and courage to share the relationship you both had with your dad was inspiring. MoBob was an incredible man, thanks so much for sharing his life with all of us yesterday.

Dear Moawad Family,
My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sadness.
Bob Moawad was that break of sunshine that peaked though the darkest clouds. I had the pleasure of getting to know Bob by planning all of his business trips as his corporate travel agent, he was always my favorite client to talk to. Each time he called to make reservations he would sing "Joy to the world", as soon as I picked up the phone....Without a doubt it brought a smile to my face, no matter what kind of day I was having. I also attribute my involvement with the Relay for Life to Bob, his inspiration and will to fight was contagious.
Thank you Bob, for being you.

Dearest Moawad Family:
Tho I met Bob briefly in Lacey WA. I know of his life's dedication to serving with and for others through his great friend Dr John Stoecker, Eugene Oregon. Both John & Janis loved Bob which was certainly evident as just the mere mention of his name brought smiles to their faces. I have posted next to my computer a motivational card that Bob gave me upon our meeting.
Bob lived a life that genuinely impacted a great number of groups and individuals. Those "learnings and experiences" live in the heart & soul of many. Bob lives forever!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Moawad family. Bob was incredibly influential in my life and my daughter's life. We have accomplished more than we could have imagined through the Unlocking Your Potential program. I was blessed to facilitate UYP for 14 years impacting hundreds of people and their families. Everyone enjoyed "Video Bob" and his "edutainer" style and humor. My family is proud of my internal change due to Bob and his teaching and I thank God that I was close enough to meet and interact with him regularly. Thank you, Bob and God bless.

Dear Mr. "M's" Family. I was truly shocked this morning to be driving to work listening to KMPS and having the morning crew mention the passing of a "Great Motivational Speaker from Lakewood" Who knew, MY Algebra teacher from 68-69 from Central Kitsap High School (Silverdale). I was a sophomore who was math phobic; dreaded the subject but looked forward to his class. I will always remember the high standards that were set in his class - to try your best - he recognized that everyone's best might look different. He simply asked you to try! I remember the positive statements; the great sense of humor and oh, yes, the saxophone would find its way into class on occasion! I remember the Championship Basketball Game; as I recall that 2 page spread in the yearbook were the ONLY color pages found in the entire book.
Please know that many share in your loss and thank you for the hours away from your family when he was sharing his gifts with others. His time was not lost on any one of us.
Keeping you all in thoughts and prayers. A Cougar Class of -71 CKHS

To the Moawad Family
I met Bob in 1974, and actually worked for his organization in the beginning. He gave me the strenght, courage, and faith to go out and develop businesses since that time. His delivery of fantastic human development concepts have guided me all these years.
I remember asking him how he is doing. He replied, "I am on a three part program to deal with my cancer -- My spiritual beliefs, my positive attitude, and my meds. The FIRST TWO -- are working real good!" During all the years of knowing him and talking with him, not once did he have less then a positive comment about any person or situation.
Fortunately, his work of enhancing human kind will continue through his books and training materials. But, mostly its up to all of us who have been deeply touched by him to model the greatness we have to make a positive difference to those around us -- with the help of God.
Rest in peace, Bobby -- we miss you.

Dear Moawad family:
What a tremendous loss you have suffered although we all knew this day must come. I have so many wonderful memories of Bob and his kindness, warmth and compassion that it is difficult to sort them all out. I cannot remember when Bob wasn't a part of my life in some way. Surely his love and energy will always live in your lives and I know you are all grateful to have had him as long as you did. He earned his rest although I can't imagine him relaxing for long.
Love and prayers to each of you!

Dear Moawad Family,
I was privilaged to take one of Bob's courses and was moved and motivated by what he had to teach. His enthusiasm was contageous and he had the most positive energy I've ever seen. Then to learn that he was enduring all the rigors of cancer treatment and still maintaining his love for life elevated him to a true hero. There are hundreds of us here at Hill Air Force Base that have grown and changed our lives from knowing Bob. We are better people for having learned from him. May God bless your family during this painful time.

Dear Andrea and family
Bob was truly a leader of leaders; He inspired hundreds of thousands world-wide to follow by his example.
Memories of being friends with Bob while attending college, as a collegue, and seeking his advice on developing my company and recent book will be with me forever. He even so kindly provided the forward for the book.
His love of sharing his insights was legendary. I'll always remember how upset he became when his body would no longer allow him to share his inspiration with others. He needs to rest assured that the seeds he has sown will continue to grow and blossom in all of us who were in perpetual awe of his enviable abilities to share his goodness.
Bob espoused that success is simply defined as how many you take with you. He has been our example here on earth and we pray we will be allowed to continue following him to where he currently resides.

Dear Moawad Family,
I want you to know that for myself and thousands of Air Force personnel, Bob will be greatly missed. His Increasing Human Effectiveness course has touched a part of each of us that is not always thought about in our difficult and yet critical line of work. The military is often focused on destruction, especially now. When we took time to study Bob's course we got a break to look at the constructive side of life, both in ourselves and in our relationships. I feel sure that the information Bob taught will save and rebuild many many lives.
Thank you for sharing him with us.

To the Moawad Family:
WOW!!! What a inspiration. It is difficult to say more than what has already been said in these tributes.
Bob and myself first met at his I.H.E seminar for Weyerhaeuser Co. We became instant friends and found out we grew up within ten miles of each other.
In my management role I used Bob many times since then to increase our management effectiveness. It always worked because of Bob's knowledge of people, their needs and his enthusiasm.
I don't think Bob ever forgot a name. One time when we hadn't seen him for about 5 years we met him at a sports banquet. He immediately came up to us and said "Dick and Judi I have something for you" and he gave us each a lapel pin which read "Attitude", and we'll always treasure that pin and remember him and his thoughfulness.
Our prayers are with your family in the loss of Bob.

Dear Mrs. Andrea, Bob Jr., Trevor, Bob, and the entire Moawad family,
I want to pass along my sincere condolences to your family after the passing of your husband and father. I met Bob only a few short years ago, back in 2004 when I had first joined my present company. While having met Bob only one time in person, I spoke to him frequently on the telephone for the past 2 1/2 years, and the relationship we established made me feel like I've know him my entire life. I am a facilitator of the IHE program within my organization, and have been blessed to have had the opportunity to spread the message. In just the few short years that I've known Bob and practiced the principles that he taught, I know I would not be where I am had it not been for Bob! His humor and wit continue to enlighten each and every class that I facilitate. While he is in a much better place now, free from the pain and suffering, the "Bob and Doug Show" will continue to live on within our organization.
Mrs. Andrea, to you and your family, you will all be in our thoughts and prayers, and may God keep a watchful eye over his son!
God Bless you my friend! I miss you, and will never forget you!!!
Love to you all,
Doug

Andrea, Bob, Trevor and family. My first personal encounter with this wonderful person was in the Spring of 1958. My friend and I helped him stack some lumber in the old warehouse in Kalama, and Bob, of course, made it seem like fun. Bob was a Junior, I was in fifth grade, and this was the start of a lifetime full of friendship and many wonderful times we shared thru CWSC and beyond. Yes, my life was certainly influenced by him, in such a positive manner that I cannot even begin to express it here. Suffice it to say, my position in life is a direct result of the "positive image" that he displayed long before it became a part of our vocabulary. I have submitted a photo that has been in my scrapbook all these years - a small token that shows how Bob was a part of my life in those young, formative years.
Thanks, Mud, for the smiles, the hugs, the laughter, the fun. Say hi to Abe and Pauline.

Mr Moawad was a teacher of mine at Clover Park (1973)..he was funny and you knew he enjoyed teaching. Garbage In....Garbage Out...that was the one phrase I remember most that he taught. He seemed to geniunely care for his students and was very involved with the activities of the ASB of Clover Park. I am sure he touched many lives. God's blessings to the family and may you be comforted by His love.

Dear "Moawad Family",
I had the wonderful, life altering opportunity to meet "Mr. Robert Moawad" when I spent my senior year at CP (1973). Bob was not just my psychology teacher, he was a friend. What a gift it was to have met him so early in my life...he taught me self- confidence and the ability to "see myself a winner to be a winner". I remember speaking with him several years ago, just "catching up". Two days later I received a package from Bob with his tapes and program enclosed...also his "Stinkin Thinkin" program for my then young daughter; which has since been passed down to our grand-daughter! Please know that his wonderful teachings and inspiration live on from generation to generation....I can't think of a more perfect legacy for such an amazing human being. God Bless you in your time of loss, may your wonderful memories see you through your sorrow.

Dear Andi,
I'm really having a hard time writing this - so many memories. I met Bob when my family moved to Kalama in June of '58. From the very first we were friends. We did everything together for the next year: worked, played sports (he always beat me at the backyard hoop on Abe's garage), played music (we even did a duet at our High School Graduation), double-dated (names will not be mentioned) and that list could go on and on.
We attended Central and I remember when Bob met you. I was in your wedding party with John and Roger Gray and Bob was my Best Man (of course) when Fran and I were married in '65. The four of us had so many good times together through the years; eating good pizza at Pietro's and bad pizza we made ourselves. Remember that Pauline about fainted when she heard we took Bobby Jr for his first boat ride on the Columbia River (he was about 2 weeks old).
For Bob's many fans who will read this - Bob never really changed. He was the same MoBob in H.S. and College that you knew later, a little older but always caring, sharing and there for you. The way of life he taught was pretty much the way of life he had lived, just with better "Bobisms" as someone described.
I have a big hole in my heart, Andi. My best friend who I love like no other is not there - although its temporary. Bob and I made an agreement the last time we visited. As you know I have my own physical problems and Bob and I agreed that the first one who got to go see Jesus gets to teach the other one his favorite sport when we get together again, so I guess I get to learn golf although you know I don't like it very much. Bob won again - which come to think of it is just like him.
We love you, Bob and Fran Aho

Bob is a great man who learned to see beyond the boundries of color into the content of greatness, possibility and character. Many of my recent achievements have come as a result of my committment to the process of (IHE). As members of Bob’s family we thank you for allowing him the time to inspire, train and build capacity for us to train 25,000 youth in the TRICS methodology… we are better today as a result of your great work.

Dear Moawad Family
We are so sorry for your loss. Bobby had called us just 2 weeks prior to his death and we had a nice visit. I am one of the class of '59 at Kalama, and have fond memories of playing basketball with him. He was always an inspiration in my life. My wife Dona will miss having him call, as he always sang "DONNA" to her when she answered the phone. We remember an early morning trip to Ilwaco to go fishing (making the 1 1/2 hour trip into a 1 hour trip as he was late getting to Longview) shortly after high school, and having him call more recently to ask when I could send some more of my smoked fish. He will always be missed in our lives; however, we are looking forward to seeing him again in Heaven.

I for one am totally grateful for you and your family in sharing this wonderful man that was part of our lives. I only know of him when he came to Utah and spoke to our Flight from Hill AFB. He was truly an inspiration to all of us. I have enjoyed the follow on video training. There should be more people like “Bob”. This world is going to miss such a wonderful person, one that has given so much. My deepest sympathy goes to you, all your family, and the friends that he left behind. But know this world is better because of BoB. Thanks again for sharing him with me.

When I went to one of Bob's seminars a couple of years ago I expected it to be another one of the time wasted requirements by management. I was very pleasantly surprised. I was fortunate enough to be at one of the seminars that Bob was able to attend. As I watched him on stage, I was amazed at his vigor and vitality. As a cancer survivor, I know how I felt when I was going through treatment and I know that there was no way I could have had the energy that he showed that day. After returning to work I felt I had to write and let him know how he affected me. He took time out of his busy schedule to answer my email. He was an incredible man. I am so sorry for your loss.

We are so very sad to hear about Bob. He was always such an amazing inspiration to all those who knew him. What an example and legacy to leave for all of us to learn from! He fought so hard and for so long! He will really be missed. We know how hard this time is for your family. Just remember that The Gonter Family is keeping you all close to our hearts. Praying that God provides you feelings of peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Love,
Lisette and Mike Welk

Bob, you designed a way to enter the hearts and minds of both individuals and major corporations . . all for the purpose of seeing the finest in ourselves and others. You changed my life and those of so many others in such powerful and positive ways. Thank you. Because of you, I am a better father, husband, business professional, and friend. Because of you, my family and I have learned more about living a life of significance.
Your legacy lives on.

Thanks Bob for all of you unconditional love and support throughout the years. You always knew just what to say, and how to say it. You will always be in my heart.
Thanks for coming to watch my Fastpitch and Basketball games. And even taking the time to see me graduate from High School. Also, for coming to speak at Pierce College, while I was a student there.
I always enjoyed working for you @ Edge Learning. Everyone was always so nice and encouraging. You guys made working fun!
You will be greatly missed!
Thanks for taking the time to make a difference in my life and so many countless others.
God Bless both you and your family.
Heaven is lucky to have you!
Love Always, Karen :-)

Dear Moawads
Your family was a major part of my childhood and I am sorry I did not keep in touch over the years. It is unfortunate that it is usually in times of loss that we see the true value of the effect that people have had in our lives. Your family was always generous and kind and I thank you for that. I have many memories of MoBob but the best was when I spoke with him before moving to L.A. to follow my dream of being in Showbiz. There was no doubt in his mind that I would succeed and his words of encouragement echo in my mind to this day. He has touched so many lives I can only hope to achieve one fraction of his legacy.
He will be deeply missed and I am sorry that I let time slip away without taking the opportunity to say Thank You and Goodbye
Love

ANDREA & FAMILY- We are saddend to lose our good friend Bob after his long and courageous battle. Connie recalls the fun early days of teaching with him at Clover Park H.S., and I first met Bob in a few of his inspirational and motivational seminars over the years. Later we appreciated his great help when he was our M.C. for the Daffodil Queen's Coronation a couple of years ago. We also really enjoyed the two of you at our various Wranglers Club events at the Fair. Bob was really a SPECIAL guy, and we will miss him greatly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I heard that Bob had passed away in his sleep and I thought, "You know, when you have a good heart and live to help others, God is good to you!"
I feel priviledged to have gotten to know Bob through Unlocking Your Potential tapes and then was fortunate to facilitate classes with others. Every time I watched Bob, I got to experience growth, not only in myself, but with people who also reaped the benefits of Bob's wisdom.
Thank you Bob

Dear Mrs. Moawad and family,
I was fortunate to attend Bob's seminar at Hallmark over two years ago...and was inspired by his courage in facing the same disease that my Mother had. I have a picture of him up in my office and earlier this week re-opened my "Increasing Personal Effectiveness" workbook to read during my lunch hour...isn't that quite a coincidence after many months of it sitting on my bookshelf? Perhaps he sent me a gentle reminder last week to revisit his teachings. WHAT A GIFT FROM GOD! Bless you all,

Dearest Moawad Family,
It is so gratifying to read all the outpourings of love for your family at this time. When my son Michael was diagnosed with his illness, Bob offered such words of encouragement to him. After Michael’s first chemo treatment, the first message on his cell phone was from Bob welcoming him to the chemo club. During a couple of low times, I called and left messages asking Bob to call Michael and despite Bob’s own plight, he always had time to reach out to him. I cannot thank you enough for allowing Bob the time to share himself with all the people who are sharing your grief.

You will always be my hero and I will carry you inside of me forever. I cherish the times we spent together and will always miss you. You always anwsered my late night phone calls and helped me through my own challenges in life. You are a magical person who only comes along once in a lifetime. I am blessed to have had you as my father.I will miss you and hope to see you again in heaven someday.

Dear Andrea and Family,
Bob came into our lives when Treavor and our sons were in junior high school. Our life has been better because of his presence. I once asked Bob to do something for me -- he did what was asked with out a second thought. That was Bob. Our world is richer because he was here and poorer because he's no longer with us. The hole he left will never be filled.

Dear Andrea and Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing but consider myself extremely fortunate to have known him both as a coach and teacher. We met through basketball at Clover Park where he introduced the team to what became his life's work, helping other's unlock their potential. While attending one of his early seminars my eyes were opened to my vast potential and the importance of attitude and goals. At the young age of 16 these were very powerful concepts. I continue to use those concepts and tools in my life today.
I had a nice visit with him at his office a couple of years ago. He of course downplayed his illness and was more interested catching up with me, my work and life. Typical Bob!
As I was leaving he gave me a copy of his book "Whatever it Takes" which is extremely inspirational, It's like having Bob in the room inspiring you. I will always cherish the book and all that I learned from Bob.

Dear Andrea and family,
Mr. Moawad was my typing teacher at Central Kitsap Hi in 1965. It was his first year of teaching. What a dynamic and charasmatic soul! I was lucky to have him cross my path several times since then, each time leaving a warm and lasting impression. I bought his books that he kindly autographed to give to my children. When I was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago, someone gave me a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul. Inside was a chapter written by Mr. Moawad. What a pleasant surprise, and I bragged to everyone I know, "he was my typing teacher in high school!". At our class reunion in 2005 we all spoke fondly of our teacher and coach and said a prayer for him. We wished he could have joined us. He has left foot prints on millions of hearts, and we cherish every one of them! God bless you and keep you.

It was an honor to spend time with Bob during my high school years as a friend of Trevor's. He was an inspiration to me then and an even greater one to me now. I can truly say he has helped to shape my life by allowing me to see unlimited potential in myself and others. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Moawad family during this difficult time.

My life took an amazingly positive turn when my path coincided with Bob's in 1974 when I was a senior at Curtis High School in University Place. Bob and his partner, Dick Anderson, were just beginning to grow the business then known as United Learning Institute, and I was blessed with the opportunity to work for them throughout my senior year and into the next year. In 1981 I returned as their employee and stayed for another several years, during the time of the growth from ULI to Edge. I learned ideas and concepts during those formative years that are imbedded in my personality. I can't imagine how my life would have gone had I not had that amazing exposure to Bob and Dick, the concepts, and the people involved with their organization. Bobby and Trevor were just tikes when I first met them! Right up until the last time I saw Bob in this life the week before Christmas, he liked to refer to me as "little Debbie," the Curtis student in the blue powderpuff football shirt. He taught me so much! Over the 30-plus years that we have stayed in touch, his attitude never changed, except perhaps that he got even better and better. In these last few years his spirituality and his walk with his Lord were so beautiful, so clear. Andrea, Bobby, Trevor, please know that I hold Bob in my heart, mind, and soul each day as I have every day since 1974. God bless you each.

Just this morning I was laying in bed not really feeling like I wanted to get up, feeling lazy, tired, and my back was aching....I was laying there when, on the radio station I always listen to (KMPS 94.1) the morning DJ, Ichabod Cane, began talking about Bob.....I was listening in astonishment as Ichabod began quoting Bob's sayings...and that's when Ichabod used a line that caught me.... "Bob had an 'UNFAILING' positive attitude...." which descibed MoBob to an absolute "T." Never in my life have I met a man like Bob...He spoke at my high school graduation, and later he helped my family retain an optimistic outlook during difficult times. His sense of humor, smile, and laugh were contagious. He never had a negative thing to say. What an amazing feat for someone who had endured so much!
So, after listening to all the wonderful things said about Bob, I decided to get out of bed...Yes, my back was hurting, yes I felt lazy and tired...But each day we wake up is a blessing....And, MoBob you helped me see that through your "Unfailing positive attitude."
Thank you.

Dear Moawad Family,
It has been many years since we first met Bob, but from the onset of our aquaintance, we were impressed with the man that he was. In passing is untimely, but his spirit will stay with you always.
May you draw comfort from the fact that he lived each days to its fullest and that he loved well.
With our deepest sympathy,

I too attended Kalama Schools & was 2 yrs ahead of Bob & older sister to Ron Crawford & Karen Crawford Brown. I played in the band with Bob all during the years & he was a terrific sax player.
I know that Bob put up a great battle but know he is at peace with the Lord.
Bob touched many many hearts & will be missed.

Dearest family - I worked at Pierce College with people in recovery and the displaced homemakers. the staff used Bob's Unlocking Potential curriculum to change the old concepts and (stuck)views of hundreds of participants. He had the key to help people who had lost their way. At the end of my career at that college, Bob came to our graduation ceremony the day he was fitted for his new 'hair' and pre-chemo... and your family had a memorial ceremony going on that day for (if I remember correctly) his wife's mother at the house ... Bob still showed up that evening at the college and gave 150%. He walked his talk and motivated the rest of us to take back our power and 'break out of the box' - I only worked with his curriculum for 2 years and with his insight helped hundreds of people get back into life. He will be missed.

Dear Moawad Family,
Bob was my cabin mate at a leadership conference between our Junior and Senior years of high school. Little did we know then, but our paths were to cross many times in our lives. After beginning my teaching and coaching career in Bellevue, I too, have taught and coached at Central Kitsap High. In fact, that is the school from which my future wife was to graduate, two years after Bob and I first met. Over the years, I have attended several of Bob's seminars and used his teachings both for self-growth and influencing young people through my association as their teacher and/or coach. Whenever Bob and I would come in contact, he always mentioned our time together at the leadership conference and would start to sing the "Twinlow Leadership Song." I just want you all to know that Bob, and his message, have touched my life and I don't know if I have ever met a more positive person. Bob, was truly a remarkable man.

I first met Mr. Moawad as a young man/boy, and he was a dad who wanted the best for his son, Bobby. Time went on, and I lost contact with his son. When my life was on the brink of self-destruction, I was exposed to him again, by the grace of a power greater then I...His lessons never waivered...he always pointed me back to my inner potential...I came to believe that I could make a difference...and so I have tried to. I owe that, in a large way to the lessons I have learned through his direction and consultation. He always returned my phone calls, whether a day or a week would pass...What a tremendous man...What a sad day...What a legacy...

Several years ago, in the midst of Bob's struggle with his illness, he came to Charles Wright to speak to the kids. At the time he was doing a conference in Phoenix, but he took a break and flew up to Tacoma at his own expense to talk with the Upper School. Only a couple of us in the room knew that Bob was fighting cancer, and knowing him I could see he was tired. But when he stepped up to the mike, the Commons was so full of energy that none of the kids or faculty would have guessed that this man was seriously ill. He was inspiriational, as he always was whenever I saw him address a group, but he was doubly inspirational to me that day, knowing the effort it cost him to give this gift of confidence and potential to the kids. I had tears in my eyes throughout his presentation. Of course the kids loved him. But I learned more that day than anyone in the Commmons. I was learning about courage and generosity, and I will always thank Bob Moawad for one of the most powerful lessons of my life. That's a small part of the huge legacy of Bob Moawad.
January 17, 2007
Dear Moawad family,
My heart and prayers are with you. Bob is such a special person and I am grateful for the opportunity to have met him. I have the privledge of facilitating Bobs Unlocking Your Potential videos to unemployed adults; most of whom are on welfare, many have experienced domestic violence, and all have low-self esteem being unemployed. Graduates of the course happily say the workshop was life changing for them. The light bulbs that come on for people as we discuss each video is a treat to witness. I love Bob's video's and grateful for his contribution to help people "Unlock Their Potential". May you find comfort in remembering all the lives that Bob has touched and his video's will continue to touch others by providing hope,encouragement,and tools to make positive changes in people's lives.
Sincerely, Karen Hardy

Bob's Increasing Human Effectiveness program was the life raft of a sinking ship. I was one of the IHE facilitators at McClellan AFB, CA as the base moved toward closure in the late 90's. Even today, people tell me how instrumental Bob's message had been in helping them move forward by choosing the right attitude.
My deepest sympathy to all of the family and may God's peace be with you.

Dear Andrea and Trevor my heart goes out to you both. Your husband and father were such a positive influence on my life. When I first became diagnosed with cancer Bob was the first person outside of my family I wanted to talk to. Every day since I became acquainted with him over 20 years ago I find some of his teachings that enter into my day to day life. Although physically gone his spirit will live forever in all of us. My best to you both and the rest of your family.

Bob provided so much to the organizations I led in developing a workforce where positive attitudes are worth catching. These military organizations found a teaching style where everyone got an "Ah Ha" moment. Many had a significant emotional event that only the "edutainer" could produce.
Bob will surely be missed - the lessons he taught us all will live forever. The lesson that I will hold most dear is the positive attitude he had throughout his illness. His internal strength and attitude were awesome to see in action. A far more important lesson in some aspects than any of the video presentations.
My organization shares in your grief and wish to pass on to the entire Moawad family our deepest gratitude for sharing Bob with us.

Dearest family and friends of Bob Moawad,
What an amazing man. An nspiration, a fighter, one who walks his talk
I wear my RIGHT attitude pin with pride.
I first met Bob in August of 2000 when he joined our Admin. team at a
retreat and then was the keynote speaker for the start of school. There are many parts of his message and existence that have impacted me both personally and professionally ever since. I still see him playing the piano, singing, telling stories and being his mazing self. SInce then I have enjoyed his nany e-mails and the times I have spoken to him. His positive voice will remain in my mind, whenever I reminisce him and his message. I will continue to enjoy his great CD Know that he has and will continue to touch many lives forever! Cherish the memories and take care of you during your time of grievance! Bob Moawad is one of the most inspiritaional people I have ever known and ranks in the top
10 speakers I have ever heard...LIVE ON WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE BOB! I
know you are already taking Heaven to another level with your message,
your existence! Until we meet again...
All my love! Deb:)

Bob-O {my tag for him)
I first encountered the natural force that was Bob-O as a Sophmore @ CP. What I remember of those early years was the way "Mr. Moawad" saw me, looked at me as if to say "what's up young man...who are you becoming?" Later in life I was privilaged to find him again @ the Edge Institute. He always took time for me, listened/shared/delighted and was honest with his feelings and insights. I always left our times feeling loved and valued. It was only as a man did I realize he had been showing me that same love and respect back in the days @ Clover Park. I have a mixture of saddness that a light has left this side of the vail, and, a joy too that I knew him and carry that love forward. I wish comfort and peace for his family in this transition time. I am fortuntate to have known him. With love and respect,

Over the past 30 years, Bob Moawad was been a positive influence wherever I came in contact with him...whether it was playing volleyball with him and Andrea during a Lillian Shotwell Orthopedic Guild get-together with spouses, hearing him provide inspiration and guidance when I recommended him for staff development activities at Lakewood General Hospital in the 80s, listening to the CD he made admonishing my children to forego "stinkin' thinkin', hearing him tell about his struggle with cancer when talking to those attending a Chamber of Commerce function or visiting in his and Andrea's lovely home.
Over the holidays, I stopped by with some chili and visited with Bob for the last time. Since it was Christmas, he asked me to play him a song on the piano. I played Silent Night, went in and chatted with him for awhile before I left.
It was a touching moment for me that I will never forget. I'm so glad I stopped by when I did. He was, even in those waning days of his life, positive and inspirational. He has left the legacy of his words and thoughts to all of us who associated with him over the years. Heaven is a better place now that Bob has arrived.

I feel very fortunate to have had my life touched by Bob. I met Bob while working at Pierce College at the VOTE program, teaching at McNeil Island and at the PierceWorks! Program. Whether seeing Bob on tape or in person, he always projected an attitude of goodness in all. He was a man who truly walked his talk. I remember one of his comments made when first diagnosed with cancer: “I don’t put a period where God has put a comma.” Bob truly lived that motto and I believe he continues living by that thought as he transitions on a new journey. He is leaving a wonderful legacy for all those who have been so richly blessed by his words and deeds. Bob has made a permanent imprint in my heart. May Bob’s family be blessed with peace, love and comfort and feel the encircling love of those around.

Dear Andrea, Bob and Trevor,
I will never forget your wonderful husband and father. He came to our Central Kitsap school in 1965 just out of college himself with Andrea at his side only a few years older than us. None of us had even seen a dynamo teacher and coach like him and actually never did again. John was changed forever by having Bob as a basketball coach and mentor and spoke of him fondly our whole life. I was inspired by his kind of teaching and he is a big reason why I, too, became a teacher and still am today. I took several classes from him later, as an adult teacher and was always amazed at his energy, humor, and wisdom. I shared his tapes for children with my chidlren, as they grew up and my son now 32 told me just the other day he still remembers Bob's words for the tapes about "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly at first." He said he used to listen to that over and over again at about age 10-12 and that got him through lots of his puberty and college. There's an old saying we all know about that says: "In 100 years no one will care what kind of car we drove or house we lived in or how much money we had, but it may matter if I've made a difference in the life of a child. Well Bob made a difference to ALL kinds of people, kids, adults, teachers, business people, family. I'm so glad we kept in touch chatting with him and feeling his powerful presence even in sickness. We will always remember what a good, caring, and inspiring man he was. He DID make a difference in this world and will be missed. With love, Jan Colby

What an honor it has been to have known this man, learn from him and be able to see the world through an inspirational pair of beautiful eyes. He had the gift of making EVERYONE feel special and I will hold that in my heart and treasure it forever. No one will ever cover Neil Diamond like Bob... not even Neil Diamond! Andrea, Bobby and Trevor, I hope you can find some comfort in knowing how many people your husband/father touched (far more than are listed here). He made the world a better place to be. My thoughts are with you.

To Bob's entire family, especially Andrea, Bob and Trevor...
We wish to extend our heart-felt care to you on the profound loss of Bob. His spirit has always aimed toward God, encouraging the rest of the world to do likewise whether it be through a positive approach to life, through music, or through expressed faith. (You all know this better than most, I imagine.)
John and I think that one of God's most jubilant, wonderfully noisy angels has flown home.
We wish comfort for you all at this time;may you feel the support of all of us who care.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Bless you,
With love,

Life without Bob will never be the same... Ironic because life with Bob was never the same. I am honored to have had a professional and personal relationship with Bob, I was blessed by his presence in my life.
He was a great influence in guiding me to my current position with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Thank you Andrea for sharing Bob freely with all who needed a bit of wisdom or inspiration from this great gift from our Father in Heaven.
God is now enjoying spending time with Bob and we all know that the first words spoken to Bob... "Well Done my Faithful Son! Well Done!"
Thanks for never letting anyone you met remain still, stagnant or unchanged by your presence. You changed the world one person at a time and your work here will continue to bear great fruit!
Well Done Bob! Well Done!
My family will miss you!

I never got tired of Bob's encouragement and hearing him tell us at Edge how much he appreciated us and believed in us. His Legacy will live on and we will continue to do what we've done at Edge and that's touch lives. I was truly blessed to have met Bob and spend time with him.

To the Moawad family,
Bob touched so many lives and made each person feel important. I can say that he touched my life and gave me a new way to look at things, as things aren't always as they seem to be. He truly was and is a blessing. I am thankful that God loaned him to us for awhile. He truly changed the world one person at a time. Thank you Bob for inspiring me to continue to grow and to be able to see things in a more positive light. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
