"Do not stand on my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft starshine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die." Immortality - by Robert Hepburn.

Fred spent the majority of his life in Newburgh, NY prior to relocating to Tafton, Pa. where he retired. He attended school in the Newburgh City School District and was known for his highly competitive and athletic prowess in football, wrestling and track & field. These physical skills, while notable were surpassed by his incredible intellect. He graduated an accomplished athlete and student. Fred was a natural born leader who never shunned hard work. He clearly demonstrated these attributes in his various career choices during his work life and they were reflected in his ability to secure positions of authority and accountability. At the young and spirited age of seventeen he was a District Manager for the Evening News, a position he secured in short time after being a paper delivery boy. When the paper closed he secured a position at Tarkett where he quickly was voted a shop steward. He then moved on to NYS Corrections where he retired as a Staffing Officer after 26 years of service.

He married his soul mate and the true love of his life, Jo-Ann (McCue) Paige on August 19, 1978. Their love survived during a time when people of differing backgrounds, let alone skin color, was not acceptable by the norms of society; however, the injustice of prejudice and racism did not overcome them. Instead, their love story prevailed for 35 years. His final words as he fought to take his last breaths are reflective of his deep love he asked for his beloved and wanted to know that she was "okay". Fred was a devoted husband and father of three sons (Frederick Douglas Paige III, Joshua Lee Paige and Jason Ronald Paige). He passionately and determinedly committed himself to teaching and raising them to be men who exemplified the core family values and work ethic passed on to him values he exhibited authentically and with unwavering conviction. Fred was raised in the church but rededicated his life to Christ on February 12, 1990. He committed himself to sharing his love of Jesus and the Word. He was called to serve, and ultimately organized and Pastored a church, The City of Refuge. He was known for his ability to deliver a biblically based sermon with knowledge and depth - where it unequivocally could be understood and applied to our daily modern lives.
