Jack Page, longtime legislator representing Gadsden, dies at 70
Former Alabama House of Representatives member John “Jack” Page III, who represented the Gadsden area for 17 years, died Monday in a local hospital, Alabama House Public Information Officer Clay Redden said Tuesday.
Page was 70 and had been in poor health since surgery in June. He recently contracted the COVID-19 virus, said his former wife, Rebecca Gray Page.
Page was a member of the Gadsden City Council when he was elected to the House in a special election in 1993 to succeed the late June Bugg. He was a Democrat and was reelected four times, but he lost the 2010 general election to Republican Becky Nordgren of Gadsden.
“Jack, as long as I knew him, was a public servant, and he did his best for his community,” Becky Page said. She said she and her former husband remained friends after a divorce.
