Joseph F. Page III passed away October 6, 2014.
Page served as president of the law firm of Giarmarco, Mullins, & Horton PC since 2007. “Jeff was an integral member of the law firm for more than 20 years. He was tireless in his service to his clients and the community,” said Julius Giarmarco. “All of us at GMH consider it a privilege to have worked with him. He was a man of principle, integrity, and optimism.”
Page was a member of the firm’s Corporate Division, serving as chairman of the Health Care Law Section. He received his law degree from The University of Michigan Law School and a B.A. from Princeton University. He was recognized by Martindale Hubbell AV rating as well as a Best Lawyer in America, US News & World Report Top Lawyer, Michigan Super Lawyer, and DBusiness Top Lawyer.

Page will be remembered both personally and professionally, as a gentleman amongst gentlemen, ethical, principled and an eternal optimist. He was generous of spirit, always willing to assist, and whether with his children, grandchildren, prospective recruits, colleagues, clients or church members, he gave of himself tirelessly.
