Page went to twelve different schools from elementary to high school, and he graduated high school in Highland Park, Illinois. He is married to fellow broadcaster Sally Larvick. He studied at the University of Tulsa. He served six years in the U.S. Army. Page's son Brian is a member of Bryan Herta Autosport.

On December 1, 1977, while doing a helicopter traffic report, Page was nearly killed in an accident, as the helicopter he was riding aboard crashed near Speedway Senior High School in Speedway, Indiana.
