Edward Clark Page II
Edward Clark Page II, formerly of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Eastham, Massachusetts, died peacefully of pneumonia at the age of 82 on October 2, 2002, at the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington, Vermont. All of his children were at his side.
Born in South Orange, New Jersey, on August 16, 1920, to Regi-nald Wheeler and Ruth Downward Page, Ted was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, and graduated from The Gunnery School in Wash-ington, Connecticut, in 1939.
In a long and eventful life, Ted exhibited great bravery. Had he been asked, it is likely that he would have chosen to be remembered as one who an-swered the call when his time came. He was a proud World War II veteran, serving as an infantry unit commander in the 14th Ar-mored Infantry Battalion, 1st Armored Division. He saw action in the Mediterranean Theater in battles and campaigns that included Naples, Foggia, Rome, Arno, Northern Apenniens, and the Po Valley. Ted fought in the assault at Anzio, after Normandy, the second-largest landing of Allied troops in Europe and scene of some of the war’s most savage fighting. Ted’s unit was trapped for days in the rain and the cold, and suffered heavy casualties, some soldiers fighting barefoot. He later was among the first wave of tanks to enter Rome. Decades afterwards, he remembered wryly that he was assigned to ride on the outside of his tank so that he could return the sniper fire they frequently encountered from high in the city’s buildings. He served with distinction and earned a battlefield commission after the landing at Anzio to the rank of captain from General Mark Clark, Commander of all Allied Forces in Italy. A photograph of a very young Ted, standing proud and earnest at attention in the field while receiving his commission from General Clark, was on display for the rest of his life. He also received the American Defense Service Medal, the European, African, Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Ribbon, and a Distinguished Unit Citation.
He married
Mariane Brewster Miller (known as Mikie) of Darien, Connecticut, on June 11, 1949, and worked in Manhattan in the field of broadcast advertising as vice-president of Edward Petry & Co. He was a long-standing member of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club and the Belle Haven Club, both of Greenwich.
He retired to Cape Cod in 1974 with his family and was predeceased by his wife in 1985. In 2002 he moved to Vermont to be closer to family and resided at Crescent Manor Care Center, Bennington, Vermont.
He is survived by his three children, Margot Brewster Page of Sunderland, Vermont, Edward Clark Page III of Thornhurst, Pennsylvania, and New York, New York, Diana Rogers Page of Concord, Massachusetts, and his three grandchildren, Brooke Page Rosenbauer of Sunderland, Vermont, Julia Page Reynolds and William Page Reynolds, both of Concord, Massachusetts.
Ted will be remembered for his extraordinary blue eyes, his athleticism, his deep love of sailing and the ocean, his warm, gregarious nature and keen sense of humor, his fine singing voice, his devout patriotism, and his indomitable fortitude, courage, and patience in the face of his long illness of 30 years.
In honor of the role music played in his life to inspire and soothe, the Page family requests that in lieu of flowers contributions in Ted’s memory be made in support of the voice education program at the Long Trail School in Dorset, Vermont, Tax-deductible contributions to this program, which encourages and trains young singers, can be sent to the Long Trail School, Music Department, in care of the Hanson-Walbridge Funeral Home, P.O. Box 528, Arlington, Vermont, 05250.
Memorial services will be private.u
