PAGE RICHARD ON MAY 23, 2015, ...
PAGE RICHARD On May 23, 2015, music lost one of its truest voices. Richard Page was principal bass clarinet of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from 1978 to 2014, joining the orchestra under the music directorship of Andre Previn. His sound and his musical intelligence were known and admired by musicians across the world. Born on May 26, 1948, Dick was a native Pittsburgher and graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where he studied clarinet with Louis Paul. As deep as his love of music was, it could not touch his love for his grandchildren, Ethan, Elly and Evan, who changed his life. It was a great gift to him to be a stepfather to Leah Hagemann, Jill Martin and Sherree Hall, and he felt blessed to be part of the Martin family, where he is survived by sisters, Donna Martin and Mary Ross, and Rita Martin and Gayle Fierst. He was predeceased by their parents, Jean and Ed Martin. For 32 years he was a devoted husband to Sue Martin, the polestar of his life. Plans for a Memorial Service will be announced at a later date. Contributions in Dick's memory may be made to the following or to a charity of your choice: Pittsburgh Buddhist Center 111, Route 908, Natrona Heights, PA 15065 or South Hills Interfaith Ministries, 5301 Park Avenue, Bethel Park, PA 15102.
