BOBBY PAGE

The Bobby Page Memorial Foundation was founded in 2006 to improve the quality of life to the less fortunate children in our community. The family and friends of Bobby Page felt it very important to carry on the true spirit of Bobby who was taken from us at the young age of 25 years old, after a very tough battle with cancer. Bobby always had a special place in his heart for children.

My Hero
My hero is my Uncle Bob. I chose him because he was dedicated to children, for his positive outlook on life, and for his love of his friends and family. His personality and smile would warm the hearts of those he knew or would meet.
Uncle Bob had a great love for hockey. He always played the game hard, fast, and physical. His motto was "play to win." His love for the game continued, even when he could no longer play, by coaching younger children. Bob had a unique way with children. He would teach them by example and this helped the children reach their potential. He had respect for each player and they respected him. The lessons he taught them didn't end when practice was over. Their self-confidence and respect for others was seen on and off the ice. He showed them how important it was not only to be a player but to be a successful player and how to be part of the a team on and off the ice.
Another reason for choosing Uncle Bob was his positive attitude. No matter what his day brought him he'd never complain. He always tried to find a positive to everything. He would always greet you with a smile and be concerned about you, even when he wasn't feeling well. His positive outlook and courage enabled him to enjoy life until he died.
My Uncle Bob didn't live a long life but he lived a fulfilled one. He touched the lives of many. He showed me by the way he lived that it's important to make the most of each day in a positive way. He also gave me encouragement to accomplish what I set out to do and that I can make a difference in the world.
