In Memoriam

Our CEO & GM, Robert Scott Ward, passed away unexpectedly on June 25th, 2017 at the young age of 64 years old. He dedicated his life to his family, colleagues, business, and in helping those in-need. He was a truly exceptional man that lived his life to the fullest, every single day of his life.

Robert (Bob) began his journey, with Hydro-Labs, Inc., in 1986. He had a passion for improving asphalt and concrete structures on a grand scale. He was widely recognized as a man that had many solutions and always loved a good hearty conversation. For those that were blessed to share life with him, knew that Bob would do everything and anything possible to ensure that his clients were more than satisfied. His work ethic resonated with every person that worked with him and for him.

Bob was always excited to perform asphalt rejuvenation projects, even as a manufacturer. He believed that in order to make a great product, one must utilize the product, throughout the entire product lifecycle.

In his years as the head of manufacturing, he perfected his craft in manufacturing the best pavement rejuvenator on the market today. From the procurement of source materials, creating the product, quality testing, and applying the materials, he constantly sought after improvements.

He welcomed opportunities, challenges, and even competition. He often spoke of the asphalt infrastructure in the United States and how Hydro-Labs, Inc., was designed to improve it. He felt as though his mission was to help others, and he executed with perfection, precision, and passion.

He would openly consult vast arrays of professionals in the asphalt and concrete industries. He was recognized as a subject matter expert in the field and his knowledge was always free. Bob grew up in a small farming town, in Upstate NY, and carried such values with him in his business presence. Honor, integrity, hard work, perseverance, and ethical conduct were his core values. He often said that by conducting business, while leveraging these values, that success was inevitable. This proved true; time and time again.

Bob's presence, values, and business savvy were deeply instilled in his family and loyal colleagues. Bob was a husband, father, grandfather, entrepreneur, analytical thinker, innovator, and most importantly; a friend. His physical presence will be missed, but his legacy shall not only carry on, but continue to grow.

With this, we leave you with an important message:
