Harold “Harry” Gale Page, 81, of Huntsville, passed away Wednesday morning, Oct. 4, 2017, at his home.
Harry was born June 23, 1936, in Gideon, Mo., a son of the late William Loyd Page and Daisy May Taylor Page Musgrave. He was also preceded in death by a daughter, Patricia Diane Page, and four siblings, Opal Maxine Hartmann, Gladis Margrett Page, Joseph Leroy Musgrave and Francis Eugene Musgrave.
Harry is survived by four children, William Harold (Helen Seeger) Page, Gary Wayne (Simone) Page, Nancy Lou Morrel and Karen Denise (Tim) Barnett; 15 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; 13 siblings, Velina Christine Doster, Eva Lou Powell, Barbara Ann Propst, Earnest Wayne Musgrave, Martha Marylin Mansfield, Irma Caron Graham, James Alvin Musgrave, Stephen Allen Musgrave, Vinita Berniece Noah, David Lenord Musgrave, Sandra Shurley Froman, Patricia May Biri and Janie Elane Formkhol; and several nieces and nephews.
Harry attended Risco, Mo., High School. He was also a veteran of the Ohio National Guard. He was a member of Indian Lake Eagles Aerie 3615, Indian Lake Moose Lodge 1533 and Doyle R. Miller AMVETS Post 39, all of Lakeview, and Bellefontaine Frank Castle VFW Post 1080.
Harry was mechanically inclined at an early age and tore down his first engine at the age of 12. His first job was as a mechanic. He moved to Paulding with his wife, Lula Page, to work with his father and later to Indian Lake. As a result of using equipment from Elder Duff to work ground at his junk yard and returning it cleaned and maintained, a 56-year working relationship and friendship began with the Duff family when he went to work at Duff Quarry.
Harry enjoyed boating, gardening, going to sales and auctions, and socializing around Indian Lake. He loved being with his family. Harry was a generous individual and would give to anyone he saw in need.
A celebration of Harry’s life begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8, at Shoffstall Funeral Home, 205 S. Main St., Lakeview, where visitation is from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, and an hour prior to the service Sunday.
