John "Jack" Lenard Page

Jack was born in Alhambra, Calif. on May 18, 1919 to Lee Lester and Viola May (Lipsey) Page. He grew up in Alhambra, graduating from Alhambra High School in 1938. Jack married his wife, Maxine Clift, on May 31, 1940. They raised their family in Rosemead, moving to Ventura in early 2007. Jack died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday morning after receiving visits from several family members and friends the previous week.

Jack was beloved by all who knew him; he was happiest when serving others. He was devoted to his family, both immediate and extended. Jack was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loved Scouting, serving as a Scout Master and on committees throughout his adult years. He was also a member of Masonic Foothill Lodge No. 305.

Jack was a heavy equipment operator, a member of Operating Engineers Local 12 for 65 years. He loved his work and delighted in showing his family the projects on which he had worked. Jack enjoyed taking road trips so that he could stop and inspect any road construction he encountered along the way.
