Harold Lee Page

Harold Lee Page passed away peacefully at the age of 89, leaving behind a life marked by family, adventure, style, and an enduring curiosity about the world around him. For the final 26 years of his life, Harold’s journey was shared together with his loving wife, Olga, who was his constant companion, partner in adventure, and the heart of his happiest memories.

Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Harold began his own family there, welcoming his two oldest children, April and Toni. When they were quite young, the family relocated to Kansas City before ultimately moving to Denver and welcoming a third child Harold Jr, marking the beginning of his deep connection to the West. Harold lived many chapters in many places, including Denver, Taos, Albuquerque, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Scottsdale, Seattle, and eventually California. Wherever he lived, he embraced what that chapter had to offer. From snow skiing in the Rocky Mountains to walking the beaches of Southern California with Olga. Harold was always young at heart.

He proudly served in the United States Navy, an experience that remained an important part of his story throughout his life. That sense of adventure carried into his professional life as well. As the U.S. CEO of Vuarnet, Harold’s career took him across the United States and around the world, including places such as Hong Kong and Paris. Travel suited a man who was naturally curious about what was happening around him.

Harold was a lifelong sports fan who loved football, basketball, and baseball. He followed the statistics, made predictions, and always had an opinion about how his teams—the Broncos, Rams, Lakers, and Dodgers—were doing. One of his absolute favorite recent memories was attending an LA Dodgers baseball game that his stepson, Francisco, took him and Olga to. It was a deeply special day, as he had never been to a Dodgers game before, and sharing that wonderful time with Olga and Francisco brought him immense joy.

He was also a car guy through and through, especially when it came to the fun ones. Over the years, his cars included two Porsches, a Triumph TR6, a Nissan Z, a Thunderbird, and a Jaguar. There were motorcycles, a boat, and a full-size conversion van along the way, too.

Perhaps what people remember most about Harold, though, was simply how much people enjoyed being around him. He was personable, handsome, effortlessly stylish, and always seemed to know something interesting. In his younger years, he sported a truly legendary mustache.

Family was woven through every chapter of Harold’s life. He raised children through different seasons of his life, and many of those earlier years were spent in Colorado. Later in life, Harold welcomed two more sons, Ryan and Brandon, beginning another chapter of fatherhood. His older grandchildren grew up alongside his younger children, creating a family dynamic that was uniquely Harold’s. There were trips to Disneyland, days at the beach, boogie boarding in the Pacific, and countless memories made together.

Eventually, California became home, and Harold fit right in alongside Olga. Together, they enjoyed the vibrant Southern California life—from walks on the beach to dinners, movies, shopping, and Lakers games. Harold and Olga loved spending days together exploring the Promenade shopping area in Santa Monica as well as strolling along the historic Santa Monica Pier. Harold also loved the Farmers Market at The Grove, especially stopping with Olga at Bob’s Donuts for coffee and people-watching. He knew which celebrities lived where, noticed what sunglasses they wore, and loved sharing what he knew. Harold’s happiest moments later in life were simply the times spent with his wife and family.

Harold was also fortunate enough to see his family grow to another generation. His first great-grandchild, Ace, spent meaningful time with him, giving Harold the chance to take on one more role: Great-Grandpa. His relationship carried the same warmth and playfulness that had always defined his time with his children and grandchildren. His second great-grandchild, Jack, didn’t have the opportunity to meet him in person, but Harold still got to know him through FaceTime and see the next little person added to the family he had helped create.

To his children, Harold was Dad. To his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he was Grandpa and Great-Grandpa. To his wife, Olga, he was a deeply devoted husband, a steady anchor, and an adoring companion. And to the many people whose lives crossed his over 89 years, he was someone they genuinely enjoyed being around.

Each person may have known a slightly different version of Harold—the young Navy sailor, the Kentucky and Colorado dad, the businessman traveling the world, the sports fan, the car guy, or the California grandpa. But to everyone, and especially to Olga, he was a man who taught those who loved him that growing older never meant you had to become old. And that is exactly how he will be remembered.
