| It is with heavy hearts that we announce
the passing of American Dairy Products Institute CEO James J. Page. Jim passed
away on April 30th in Athens Regional Hospital, he was 59 years old. Jim was an
invaluable member of the entire dairy industry; his unwavering loyalty,
leadership, and friendship will be missed. Our deepest sympathies go out to
Jim's wife, Madeleine, and his daughter, Meredith, and his family.
In his words, “I have had it all, friends, success,
love and a wonderful family. I have been so blessed. I would love to see more
sunrises, more full moons, more Georgia games, more big fish at the end of my
line, but I saw it all. The greatest gift that God gave me was the appreciation
of all my blessings. He taught me how much I was loved, how beautiful His world
is, how everyday is a gift. Having cancer made me a better person, I believe.
My eyes were open and I saw the wonder of the things around me (my life, my
family, my friends). I have lived all around the country and it taught me how
much I love the South. There is beauty everywhere, but my home and my heart are
in Georgia.”
Donations can be made to First United Methodist Church,
