Ned Page died Sept. 2, 2012, in Chestnut Hill, Mass., from complications of Parkinson’s disease.

Ned prepared for college at St. Paul’s. At Princeton he was on the gym and 150-pound football teams. He was editor of the Princeton Engineer and president of the Princeton Engineering Society. He graduated with highest honors in chemical engineering, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and was a member of Colonial Club.

In 1943, Ned married Barbara Jeffreys and enlisted in the Navy, becoming radar officer on the submarine USS Cavalla, with duty patrolling in the Pacific. After the war he continued in the Navy Reserve, ultimately resigning in 1955 as a lieutenant. He returned to Princeton and received a master’s degree in chemical engineering in 1946, after which he worked as an engineer at DuPont and later at Polaroid. In 1955, following a disastrous loss of hearing, he resigned from Polaroid and dedicated himself to leadership roles in organizations that helped the hard of hearing.

Ned enjoyed rowing and running and competed in the Boston Marathon. He also served as memorialist for our class. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; daughters Barbara Page and Carol Pierce; son Edward Crozer Page III; three grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. To them all, the class sends condolences.
