Richard Irvin Page joined his parents, sister and grandson in heaven on November 11, 2020.  He was born December 12, 1933, to Ezra "Birl" Page and Louise Drullinger Page at the Drullinger homestead.  His Uncle Jim, who was 5 at the time, remembers the day he was born.  Uncle Jim, rode along with Pop over to Joes to get the doctor.  When they got back Louise was in the living room on a bed and they chased him back to the kitchen.

Richard started school at Edville, which was about 1 mile east of the family farm.  He then continued on to Cope school.  Richard and June met in high school.  It was love at first sight.

Richard joined the Army in 1952 and became a cook.

Richard married his high school sweetheart June Morris on June 20, 1954.

After getting out of the Army in 1954, they lived in Denver before moving back down to Richard's parent's family farm in Cope. Where he built a dairy and worked it together with his father Birl until they sold it in the late 70's.

Richard had a milk route that he would deliver fresh milk on his way home 2 nights a week.  After selling the dairy he farmed and raised cattle.  He and June enjoyed square dancing.  They were even invited to dance at the state capital one year.  He and June loved to travel, and this inspired them to go on a few mystery trips together. After a few of these mystery adventures, they decided to take an easier route of traveling together and began taking bus trips so that someone else could do the driving. They have traveled all over the United States.

In his later years, he enjoyed spending time in his garden.  He loved to share the bounty with his kids and grandkids.  Purple potatoes, corn, pumpkin, watermelon, or squash, we always took some home.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Birl and Louise Page, parents-in-law, John and Lena Morris, sister, Peggy and Vernie Lovell, son-in-law David King and grandson, Eric Page.

He is survived by his loving wife June of Anton CO, children Marlene and Fred Kleinmann of Ponca City OK, Margaret and Ron Eskew of Akron CO, Irene and Wade Ashlock of Sapula OK, Dennis and Michelle Page of Littleton CO.  Grandchildren, Jamie and Marty Steichen, John and Misty Kleinmann, Shawna Eskew and Danny Null, Shane and Kim Eskew, Christina and Jake Mason, Amy and Wayne Abbott, Mathew King, Mark and Mindy Page.  Great grandchildren, Tyler Steichen, Hattie Steichen, Alyssa Kleinmann, Sarya Kleinmann, Kasey Benish, Reese Eskew, Ava Mason, Addalyn Mason, Hudson Abbott, and Maya Page.
