Robert Page Obituary

Name: Memorial service for Robert E. Page
Start: 2022-06-25T19:00:00.000Z
Location: Lutheran Church of the Cross

On Sunday, June 19, 2022, our merciful LORD took Robert E. "Bob" Page, 89, to spend eternity with him.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, he was preceded in death by his parents Leslie and Lucinda Page. Beloved husband of Kathy. Loving father of Leslie (Leslie) Page and Mark Page. Cherished stepfather of Ray (Mia) Leber, Karen (Chuck) Clow and Sharon Burnham. Beloved grandfather of Kayte (Phil), Danny (Michele), Katie (Jarryd), Chas, Steven and Katherine. Proud great-grandfather of nine.

Bob was a third-generation railroad man who started working full-time at the age of 16 while completing High School. After graduation at the age of 18, he joined the US Navy and served for four years, primarily as a Navigator and Technician on flights bringing supplies into Cuba. Following his tour of duty, he returned to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, working his way through the system to become Division Manager of the Chicago and Midwest area office for the CSX conglomerate. It was during his years in Chicago that he met and married Kathy, and they had 41 wonderful years together.

After retiring at the age of 55, Bob and Kathy moved to rural Land O' Lakes, WI, where they enjoyed recreational activities and Bob served as President of the Fish & Game Club and President of the Homeowners Lake Association for Big Portage Lake. After 12 years, they settled in Punta Gorda, FL, where they joined the Yacht Club and Bob served as Head Elder for a Lutheran Church for 10 years. We remember Bob as a loyal, kind and dependable but unassuming man who loved the LORD, his country, his family and his friends. Although a quiet man, he was very social and loved playing the card game of Hand and Foot with his many friends.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m., on Saturday, June 25, 2022, at the Lutheran Church of the Cross, 2300 Luther Road in Port Charlotte, and will be streamed on YouTube and Facebook.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Lutheran Church of the Cross or a charity of your choice.

My condolences go out to Auntie K (Kathy), Sharon, Karen & Chuck, and Mia & Ray.

"Uncle" Bob was a tremendous man. He was full of life and enjoyed everyone´s company. A great family man, no matter the topic, he loved engaging in conversation, and never without a smile. I´m so glad I got to see him last autumn. He will be forever be missed, but he´s with The LORD now, and I will always remember his big smile and firm handshake. I miss you Uncle Bob.

"Uncle" Bob was a "gift" given to all of us by marrying my Aunt Kathy.

He was a very gentle person, and we loved spending time with him and my aunt...even though they are Floridians and we are Buckeyes! That was one of the things we had in common, though. Bob was born and raised in OH...and enjoyed watching the BUCKEYES play football.

Bob led a very full life...more than most of us could ever hope to do!

Now, dear Uncle Bob, it is time for you to rest. We know that you are at peace, and so are we. That does not mean we will not think about you...talk about you...or share memories you left us with. That is how we will keep you alive in our thoughts...and hearts.

Thank you for being a part of our family. You were a BLESSING! May God Bless you and hold you in His arms.

Bob was my Great Uncle, and my family and I were so sorry to hear about his passing. We always enjoyed our visits with him! We will always remember him as a kind, gentle, and very intelligent man. Bob had a peace and calmness about him that just made everyone so comfortable. We will truly miss him.

To Aunt Kay, family, and friends, please accept our deepest sympathy. May the beautiful memories you have of Bob be a comfort during this time.

My Great Uncle Bob was everything and more that his very fitting obituary stated. I'm not sure what more I can add, so I'll just share a brief personal memory. Some time ago, he and Aunt Kay took a trip to Africa. While visiting us in Ohio, he showed me several pictures of their trip and all the various tours they took while they were there. Just Uncle Bob and I... just the two of us... sitting down together with his laptop for a couple of hours one evening. I enjoyed that one-on-one on time with him. That experience, his knack for Cajun culinary, and all the wonderful things that were stated in his obituary will be my lasting memories of him. Rest well, Uncle Bob. We will all see you again someday.
