Commisioner Page, RIP

May 31, 2002

I am writing you with sad news.

I will write next week about the Supervisor work that I do.

Today I am writing to tell you my friend, and Sterling's Planning Commissioner A. Tim Page passed away on Thursday, May 30.

Tim had been in critical condition at a Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia where he had been on vacation.

I drove out there last Saturday to visit him and his family. I did get to see Tim and treasure that time I was given to see him. Now we must all pause and be ready to remember him for what he has accomplished. I will give you details of these arrangements as they become available.

Later I hope to send out some comments from others about Tim, as I am simply not able to express adequately the love and impact Tim spread in so many hearts. If you have a comment or experience, tell me.Thanks.

I have received many inquiries about Tim. Tim is loved by many people who have seen him at work at the Planning Commission. Tim has brought great honor to Sterling in his service. Tim made an extremely significant contribution to the entire county for three years. His humble and underspoken style has been an intelligent and mirthful complement to the formal settings of public meetings. If you have not met Tim, allow me to tell you that he casts a giant shadow on the minute details of zoning and land use on behalf of Sterling and and on behalf of your property rights interests and in resisting the social planners of Western Loudoun.

Tim Page made the case for people who had no other spokesman and for reasons of fairness. He did not seek this position of Planning Commissioner but was drafted by me to serve the people of Sterling.

Pray for Tim and his family.

And consider sending Tim's wife Caren page a card or letter so that his family knows how you feel. Let's fill up the mailbox. (For now, save any visits for the wake, which I will tell you soon) Address for cards: Family of A. Tim Page, 5 Exeter Court, Sterling, Va. 20165.
