Mr Page. What a sweet, sweet man. Always the perfect gentleman. I worked at the old Ramada Inn in the Red Stable Lounge in 1977-78. Mr Page was the Matre De at the restaurant there. We became fast friends. Always enjoyed our conversations.
My heart goes out to his family. I know he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. RIP Mr Page
