Charles Page Obituary

Mr. Charles "Chuck" L. Page, of Glencoe, Illinois, architect and homebuilder whose name is synonymous with grand homes along Chicago's Northshore for over five decades, died on August 26, 2018 at Evanston Hospital. He was 85. Born on March 13, 1933 in Chicago, Chuck drew much of his character from southern Illinois, where he spent a significant portion of his youth. He attended Nicholas Senn High School in Chicago, where he was an offensive tackle on the football team. Upon high school graduation, Chuck played collegiate football at Miami University of Ohio. Upon transfer to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he began his lifelong love of architecture, receiving a Bachelor of Science in architectural sciences. Chuck would go on to be an acclaimed, prolific designer and builder of custom homes along Chicago's Northshore. Chuck was a visionary developer of contemporary-style homes in Riverwoods, Illinois in the late 1950s before transitioning to his trademark country French style homes of which there are hundreds that shape the Northshore. His interests and passions varied: photography, sailing, judo, taekwondo (he became a black belt), spirituality, watercolor painting, hypnosis, the Chicago Bears, and ice cream. The patriarch of a large family, Chuck is survived by many who will forever cherish him, including his beloved wife, Donna Flynn Page, sisters Delores Vernon and Deborah Page (David) Johnson, eight children (Steven (Natasha), Jeffrey, Kristen, and Benton (Stephanie) of Chicago; Catherine (David) of Atlanta; Russell (Erin) of Oregon; June of North Carolina; and Charles of Colorado), twelve grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, two nieces, four nephews, canine (Martini), and feline (Desilu) companions. Visitation will be on Saturday, September 1, 2018 from 11:00 a.m. until service at 1:00 p.m. at Donnellan Family Funeral Home, 10045 Skokie Boulevard, at Old Orchard Road, Skokie, IL 60077.

WE LITTLE KNEW. We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Love you and miss you XOXOXO Donna, Martini and Desi Lu

CELEBRATE MY LIFE Remember me with love and joy, Let gratitude fill your heart. Thankful for the time we had, Gone yet not apart. If we measured life in moments, Not in months or years, I lived a hundred lifetimes, Loved by all who hold me dear. I hope you'll find your smile, And generously speak my name. Share stories and my heart, Your love for life unchanged. Celebrate the life I lived, I will be watching from above. I am always with you, Sending you my light and love. Remembering you today Love Donna, Martini and Desi-Lu and your little cardinal

God looked around his garden, and found an empty space. He looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, for He only takes the best. He knew that you were weary, and He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never be well on earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine. Author Unknown. In the spirit of spring and the 7 month anniversary of your passing - in loving memory of you Baby - we miss you SO MUCH ...

So sorry to learn of Chuck's passing. My biz partner, Timothy John Niensted, AIA and I produced the working drawings for Chuck's beautiful French Style custom homes. He was a very sweet man to work with and for. He was a master of beautiful design. His dear son was Chuck's biz partner in their custom construction company. It is such a shame to loose such a special talent. Chuck was a one of a kind genius that Tim and I greatly admired and will never forget him. We miss him very much. We felt very blessed to have him in our lives. All the best and rich blessings to the entire huge family. Most Sincerely, June Helen Hanna
of Wood Dale IL.
