Bill graduated from Meadowbrook High School in 1946. After graduation he went to work for Ardmore Plumbing Supply until he enlisted in the Army. After leaving active duty and joining the reserves, he attended Oklahoma A & M. This is where he met and married his wife of 67 years, Jean Raper, on October 16, 1954 at the First Baptist Church, Stillwater. Bill and Jean moved to Ardmore in 1954 where he became co-owner of Ardmore Plumbing Supply until his retirement. They had one daughter, Terri.
Bill sat on the Board of Southern Oklahoma Water Corporation for 41 years, serving in multiple capacities. He was a great husband to Jean and often helped her over the years with projects ranging from hosting YWCA Teen Town to the Carter County Fair, the Arts and Crafts Festival and the annual Christmas Parade.
Bill loved spending time at Lake Murray boating and doing water sports. He even built his own dock there with his good friend David Wilson back when you were allowed to do so. He also had a love for cars and spent many days at the drag races both racing and as a spectator. He had many motorcycles through the years and enjoyed riding with family and friends. Bill loved watching sports, especially the OSU Cowboys and Cowgirls.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents William and Dovie Page; brothers Omar and Carlos Page; and sister Chloe Heidrich.
