ZAKO, Zoltan “Zoli”
1924 - 2013
Mr. Zoltan Zako of Red Deer, Alberta passed away at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at the age of 88 years. A revolutionary of 1956, Zoli fled from Hungary via France and entered into Canada via Saint John, New Brunswick, where he gained his Canadian citizenship. He lived and worked in various places in Canada; from the province of British Columbia where Zoli worked at the Keno Silver Mine, then from there onto the province of Alberta, where he worked for the City of Red Deer at the Red Deer Regional Hospital for many years, eventually retiring in Red Deer. Zoli represented Canada well as a good citizen. Zoli’s friends wish to express their thanks to the wonderful people at Piper Creek Lodge and his many friends; both Hungarian and Canadian. It is with great sadness that we lay him to rest. We will miss Zoli. In honor of Zoli, friends are invited to gather at a Graveside Service, which will take place at Alto Reste Cemetery, Hwy. 11 East, Red Deer, Alberta on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. Arrangements in care of Joelle Valliere, Funeral Director at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.
