Richard A. Page

He was born in Jamestown, NY, on Feb. 2, 1953, to the late Richard L. and Shirley (Miles) Page. He grew up in Lakewood, NY, where he developed a lifelong love of building–beginning with his first tree house and culminating in designing and constructing his own home from the ground up.

In 2000, Richard opened Miles Machine in Jamestown, NY, after nearly three decades in CNC machining. He poured his heart into his work, always striving to build something lasting for his family. His gift for problem-solving and his ability to design creative machining solutions for even the most complicated parts set him apart. He took special pride in mentoring his son, Michael, and in seeing him continue the business they built together.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Shirley (Miles) Page in 2004 and Richard L. Page in 2022; and his sister, Deborah (Page) Peterson in 2013.

He is survived by his loving wife, Patricia (Beebe) Page; siblings: Robert C. Fulcher (Lana), Terrie L. (Fulcher) Haskins (Bruce), and Cynthia S. Creal (Peg); and children: Amber (Page) Erchul (John) of Rolesville, NC, Jade (Page) Barricelli (James) of Durham, NC, Michael Page (Julie) of Jamestown, NY, and Samuel Page (James) of New York, NY.

Richard was a proud grandfather to Alexander Bettis, Zarek Bettis, Gracelyn Erchul, Isabella Erchul, Kessler Page, Landon Page, and Savannah Page, each of whom brought him immense joy.

He will be remembered for his hard work, quiet strength, and endless love for his family. His children will always smile remembering his playful sense of humor and how he managed to “trick” them into loving roller coasters as much as he did.
