It was in that calling that he found his greatest joy and honor. His gentleness, integrity, and faithfulness will be greatly missed. He was pre-deceased by his parents and his son, Mark.

He is survived by his dear wife of 59 years, Aubyn Phillips Page; his son, Roger and wife, Janet; grandchildren, Russell and Crystal Page of Ft.
