Educator.
Born in the Rural Municipality of Stanley on 25 April 1913, son of Hermann Zado (c1868-1947) and Eleanora Bush (c1877-1956), he grew up on the family homestead at SW19-1-1W near Brown. Following teacher training, he worked in rural Manitoba classrooms for around 22 years, including as a teacher (1938-1944) and Principal (1941-1944) at Steinbach Collegiate. He then moved to Winnipeg and taught at the Norwood Collegiate (c1945-1950) and the Winnipeg Technical Vocational High School (1951-1956), the latter where he was working at the time of his death. He later moved to 3806 Cuthbertson Avenue in Charleswood. He married Elsie Rangno (1912-1979) and had one daughter. He died at the Misericordia Hospital on 24 March 1956 and was buried in the Brookside Cemetery.
