Frank Page passed away on January 19, 2023, after several years of health struggles that he fought very hard to overcome. "Dr. Frank" lived a very full and unconventional life, as all who knew him can attest. A Renaissance man, during his lifetime, Frank was a doctor, an actor, a Harris County constable, a Navy sailor, a grocery manager, a school bus driver, and a security officer.

Born Francis Pagliuso in New York, New York, on October 23, 1940, to Joseph Page (Pagliuso) and Stella Geraci.  Frank grew up in Manhattan and later New Jersey. After graduating high school, he joined the Navy and was stationed in New Iberia, Louisiana. Upon completion of active duty, he enrolled at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL) in Lafayette, where he graduated with a BS in business. He worked as a HR manager with Kroger, which moved him and his family to Houston, Texas, in 1968. Later, he attended and graduated from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and practiced podiatry in Alief, Texas, for many years.

His next career took him back to New York City, where he spent many years acting in commercials, television, and movies, and appearing in print ads. He loved showing everyone the Geico commercial that featured him jumping out of an airplane. Eventually, he moved back to Houston full time and enjoyed driving a school bus, still doing some local acting and even teaching acting classes.

His last major career change led him to attend the Law Enforcement Academy at age sixty-four, after which he became a Harris County constable in Precinct 4. After being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2006, he transitioned to working as a security officer at several of the local community colleges until he retired in 2015.

Frank was immensely proud of his two daughters, Tracy and Leslie, and his four grandchildren—Will Bowling, who was born on Frank's fifty-eighth birthday; Brooke Bowling; Ella Boyle; and Evan Boyle. He still had his "Brigade's Favorite Dad" awards from the '80's, from when his daughters were on drill team in Alief. He enjoyed bragging to everyone about his daughters, son-in-law, Chris, and his grandchildren. His final wish was to see his oldest grandson Will get married on December 30 to his beautiful bride, Leah. He made it to the wedding just as he'd said he would.

Frank was married to Sandy Page for thirty years, and they enjoyed their many dogs, friends, and neighbors on Tournament Drive. It was there he became security director for his homeowners' association, and that led to his career as a constable. Frank and Sandy loved attending the Renaissance Festival every fall and dinner parties with friends.

Frank was first married to the mother of his children, Vicki Cathey Keel, for seventeen years, and he maintained what most would consider a very unusual but friendly relationship with her and her later husband, Jim Keel, and Jim's son, Kevin, for their entire lives. In fact, they all celebrated holidays, birthdays, and even traveled together for many years. After Vicki passed away, Jim and Frank maintained a close friendship until the very end. While most could not understand what enabled them all to have this uncommon and close bond, the answer was simple: family.

Frank was a captivating storyteller with a well-developed sense of humor that carried him far in life. Even in his old age and failing health, you could find him sitting in the middle of a group of people, telling stories and holding court. He loved telling childhood stories of growing up in New York City, living above his grandfather's butcher shop, and spending summers in the Catskill Mountains. He enjoyed his time in Lafayette, Louisiana, where he learned to eat crawfish and somehow fit in with the Cajuns. Following his kids and grandkids, his greatest joy came from acting. He started locally in Houston and then took his talents to New York City. He even did a voice-over recording introducing a short story reading of "The Hat" only a few months before his passing. He never gave in to old age or slowing down. As he said in a newspaper article written about him titled "Law and Order: Career Transition Takes Sixty-Four-Year-Old Houstonian from Silver Screen to Real Life," "My philosophy is the more you do, the more you can do—and it's up to you to live every day. Personally, the more I do, the happier I am, and when the opportunity to attend the police academy came up, I at least had to give it a try." And that he did, and so much more.

Frank is preceded in death by his wife, Sandy Page; his parents, Joe and Joan Page, and Stella and Bill Sweditch. He is survived by his beloved daughters: Tracy Lee Bowling and husband Chris; Leslie Faye Boyle; and stepdaughter Kim Sachan. He leaves behind four grandchildren he was so proud of: Will Bowling and his wife, Leah; Brooke Bowling and fiancé Brooks; Ella Boyle; and Evan Boyle. He is also survived by his sister, Peggy Farro, and her husband Hank; brother, Bob Page, and his wife, Barbara; along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins; many lifelong friends, including Bobby Simon, his college friend of sixty years; and Robin Schwartz from podiatry school, who he still talked to regularly; and Jim Keel and Kevin Keel, who he loved as family.

A memorial service will be held at Houston National Cemetery on February 8, 2023 at 2:15 pm, located at 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive, Houston, TX.
