A Dear, Sweet Man. Mr. Page will be Missed. I worked at 4200 Place, when He & Sally would come In, on a regular basis. Then when I worked at the Flower Factory, I was Blessed to see Him when He was buying Canvas's. Then When He was working in Marion's, by the Dayton Mall, I visited Him, taking Pictures of Him Painting. They are Beautiful. I get a great sense of comfort, when I go there. He truely is an Angel, going home. May He be at Peace, knowing He was Loved. He was a Special Man. And I was lucky to know Him. May His Family be comforted, knowing that People truely Loved Him. (And Sally, as well) They Both were Special People. God Bless.

Dawn,Diane,Kim, Gene, Your Dad was always so wonderful to me. Very gentle, caring and funny. I always enjoyed being around him. His paintings say alot about him with the beauty and in-deepth of people he painted. I'm so very happy the kids and I came to see all of you when we did. It was a mending time for all of us and the talk your Dad & I had together will never be forgotten. He told me alot of things that made me love him even more. He is going to be greatly missed by all of us, but I know he is already in trouble being w/Charlie (Chuck). It gives me comfort knowing they are together.
Love You All, Willa Page
