Page once shared that she can still drop tears just thinking about him 40 years later.
She wrote in the 2020 Father’s Day post, “My daddy was way ahead of his time. I was his branding for our optical shop, Page Optical (brilliant). He was the “Optician to the Stars” and was part of the original @blackbeverlyhills …. He taught me the importance of independence & being an entrepreneur & serving our communities… He taught me to count money on our pool table….. There wasn’t anything I wanted that I didn’t have – which extremely spoiled me, but taught me to value myself, have high standards & get what the hell I want when I #dothework.”
