He moved to NYC in 1941 where he was hired by Frank Rebajes as his shop foreman, and worked for him until 1958 with only a brief interruption when he served in the military during WWII. He opened his own business, Orb Originals, in 1958. In 1960 Rebajes decided to move to Spain and sold the Rebajes name and business to Bade. Bade passed at the age of 97 in 2019.
