Ray A. Page was born on September 7, 1949 in Dexter, Maine and died at home on December 2, 2013 as he wished, in Charlestown, NH after fighting cancer with great valor and dignity.

He is survived by his life partner, Roseann Richards; his mother, Priscilla O. Page; three sons, (who were the light in his eyes) Carleton D. Page II and daughter-in-law, Ashley and granddaughter, Violet, Warren J. Page and daughter-in-law, Maria, grandson, Grimm and granddaughter, Olivia and the youngest, Bryan Ray Page; two stepchildren, Duane Dunifer and grandson, Logan and Danielle Dunifer and grandchildren, Arthur, Neveah and Tommy.

Also surviving is his sister, Carlene Tapley and nephew, Thomas Tapley II and Jeryl McKinney, his brother in spirit.  He was predeceased by his sister, Sandra Lee Anderson and father, Carleton D. Page.

Ray joined the Marines and served proudly in Vietnam.  Upon returning home, he joined many service organizations enjoying the camaraderie of his brothers in arms.

Ray was a lifelong “collector” and prospector of treasures.  He loved hunting, fishing and all outdoor pursuits.  He enjoyed teaching his grandchildren the love of the outdoors and always telling us all that he loved us “more than the Universe”.

Ray was a good man who will be loved and missed by more friends and family than can be counted.  He never met a “stranger” and was a friend to all giving generously of himself to one and all.

Friends and family will gather for a celebration of Ray’s life in Concord, NH at the West Street Ward House on 41 West Street from 1-4 PM on December 7, 2013.  We will tell our stories, love one another and share light refreshments as we say goodbye to Ray. 

Donations to Ray’s beloved Rose may be made in lieu of flowers at PO Box 1324, Charlestown, NH 03603.
