James "Jim" Milton Page, 89, of Paducah, passed away at 8:15 am on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at Superior Care Home.
Page was born and raised in Lowes, Ky. He left home at the age of 18 to join the United States Army. He proudly served in World War II with the 7th division Army from 1944-1947. Returning home, he married his wife, Dorothy (Willis) Page.
Page was a pioneer in local radio. He delivered the news for WNGO in Mayfield until he moved to Paducah in 1957 to be the General Manager of WDXR and later WKYB.

His first restaurant, the Noble Park Dairy Queen, is still operated by the Page family. Page also owned and operated Pizza Inn, Griff's Burger Bar, Church's Chicken, and El Chico. He was a member of Kentucky Restaurant Association and Paducah Kiwanis Club.
Page was a former member of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, where he was a deacon, and a current member of First Baptist Church of Paducah.
