Robert C. Ward, one of the four original partners in Bay Tek Games, died in December. Originally from El Paso, Texas, Ward found his way up north and graduated from the Madison School of Banking and then served his country in the United States Air Force. “He was the money man and the funny man,” said Larry Treankler, CEO of Bay Tek Games.
“His financial experience was a key part of the early days of Bay Tek and helped set the foundation of the almost 30-year-old company. He helped Bay Tek see the value in being conservative with their resources. In his banking experience he had seen way too many companies like Bay Tek fail because they simply ran out of money. “Bob’s humor and enthusiasm were probably his greatest assets. Bob kept us from killing each other during late night work sessions that were so much a part of the early years. I personally learned a lot from Bob, not the least of which was his attitude of “If we can’t make it fun, I ain’t doing it!”, comments The Bay Tek Games family extends its deepest sympathies to Bob’s family.”
