(Elmo) Gone to rest, no more pain, no more sorrow.
(Elmo) Russell Page, Jr., of Madison Heights died January 9, 2015.
Born April 23, 1940 in Lynchburg, Elmo was a son of the late Russell and Irene Page.
He was the husband of Nancy F. Page for 55 years.
In addition to his wife, Elmo is survived by a step-daughter, Connie Kendrick and her husband, Roland, step grandchildren: Heather Saunders Erb and Benny Richard Saunders, Jr. and his wife, Liza; a great granddaughter, Macey ,numerous friends and Smoke, his cat.
Elmo retired from G.E., where he worked as a model maker for over 30 years. He loved feeding the birds, watching the squirrels in Miller Park, playing country music, fishing, the ocean, life and more. He never met a stranger and loved to banter back and forth.
Sad is the feeling, dreadful the grieving. When one remains the other must go. I can’t let go of the hand of my darling. She who was given to have and hold. Let me watch over her when she’s alone. If its your will Lord if I must go. Please tell the angels to let me fly low. Tears will fall on my pillow of stone, that’s when she’ll need me, so Lord let me hover waiting to carry my darling on home. Precious the lifetime we spent together Oh what I’d give to just follow her home; Please tell the angels to let me fly low.
A private memorial is planned at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please remember Amherst Humane Society.
