In Memory

David Austin Page Jr.

David Austin Page, Jr., 68, of Durham, North Carolina, died on Saturday, August 13, 2011, after a brief illness.
David was born to the late David and Delores Page on Wednesday, May 26, 1943, in Beaver Falls, PA.

David graduated from Beaver Falls High School in 1961 and received his Photographic Engineering degree from Rochester Institute of Technology, where he was a member of the Alpha Pi Omega fraternity.
David's professional career included working for Kodak and Polaroid and as a civilian contractor for the US Navy in Intelligence. His 30-year tenure at Duke University was split between the radiology and art departments, which was a testament to his dedication. Beyond his professional life, David was deeply involved in the community, contributing to Durham Sister Cities and Durham Jaycees and he served on the Board of Directors for the Eno River Association.

During his retirement, he continued to sell his photographs privately, co-authored a book with Dr. Richard Zakia, taught photography classes at Alamance Community College, worked as a corner worker in auto racing for SCCA, and served on the Board of Directors of the RIT alumni group.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Janet Blake Page; daughters Susanne Page Conway and husband Shawn and Catherine Page Hoffman and husband David; grandchildren Lauren, Molly, and Ella Conway and Trip and Bailey Hoffman; his brother John Page and wife Pat; sister-in-law Barbara Blake Call and husband Jim; nieces and nephews John, Michael, and Debbie Page and Robert and Warren Call.
A memorial service, a celebration of David's life, was held in Durham, NC, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church on Saturday, August 20, at 3:00 p.m. The Rev. Anne Hodges-Copple officiated. The family welcomed friends and guests immediately after the service in the Johnson Hall of St. Luke's, which provided a space for shared memories and comfort.
