After retiring, he went on to work as the executive director of the Cochise College Foundation, was treasurer of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce in 1993 to 95, and served on the board of directors for SEABHS for two years. He also served as one of the youngest members of the Douglas Unified School District Governing Board in 1968-1970.

He has been involved with the Arizona Rangers for the last three years.

Page has three family-run businesses in Bisbee -- Coffee Connection, Bisbee Grille and Santiago’s Mexican Restaurant.

He has been married to wife Georgia since 1963, and the couple has three children, Rob and Michael of Bisbee and Toni Lynn of Tennessee and four grandchildren.

    " I am so happy to see my brother honored in such a way by the people of Douglas. Eddie is one of the best people in the world as those of you that know him could attest. He works tirelessly for whatever he believes in. And all his life's works have been "from the heart" He does not compromise his deep religious values, has raised a beautiful family and I hope he feels the love from his brothers. "
