FALL RIVER — A familiar face and friend to many at a well-known Fall River restaurant for over three decades passed away this week.

 

Eric LePage, longtime owner of LePage's Seafood and Grille along with his wife Carol, died Monday, March 18, at Saint Anne's Hospital following a brief illness, according to his obituary. He was 72 years old.

 

The Fall River native and Tiverton resident stepped away from his 439 Martine St. business in May 2022 after 34 years when the couple decided to retire.

 

The popular seafood restaurant was described in his obituary as "Eric's true passion," serving as a second home to the LePages and others across the SouthCoast for many years.
