CHARLES PAGE Obituary
PAGE, 76
LAKELAND - Charles Henry Page, age 76, of Lakeland, Florida, passed away on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at his home of 52 years in north Lakeland. Born December 19, 1941, in Lakeland, the son of Charles Fletcher Page and Nellie Kate Sutton, he and the love of his life, Nancy, celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary last July.
After graduating from Lakeland High School, he served in the US Navy. Working for Lakeland Electric for 27 years, he retired as a respected Line Crew Foreman. During that time, he earned his electrical contractor's license and started his own business to fund college educations for his three daughters. He was a lifetime blood donor. Compassionate and hard-working, he enjoyed gardening, fishing, helping others, and doing the right thing. Most of all, he was a proud husband, dad, and grandpa who loved his family deeply.
Charles is survived by his wife, Nancy; sister, Nancy Lou Miller of Lakeland and three daughters, Lisa Quigley (David), Jennifer Milstead (John), and Stacey Buchanon (Jeremy), all of Lakeland. The Pages have fourteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I met Mr and Mrs Page years ago when Jennifer invited me to her parents home for a cookout and 'Christmas tree burning party'. Both Mr and Mrs Page made me feel right at home, with Mr Page telling me jokes and teasing me a little, just like my family. He was always willing to help anyone who needed help and he spoke of his "girls" with such love. I know he will be missed by the whole family and all of his friends.
With much sympathy and many heartfelt prayers.

I have known Charlie since Central Avenue Elementary School. We graduated in the same high school class and I worked with him on line crews and helped him wire homes back in the day. In all that time I never heard Charlie say a bad thing about anyone. He loved Nancy and his family who I know will miss him terribly as will the rest of us who have been lucky enough to know him.

I am truly sorry for your loss, words can't express my sadness for your family. Though, I know your beloved (husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather) is with the Lord. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers.
He was an amazing man and left a tremendous legacy...his family.
All my love and prayers, I am thinking of you all.
