<Larry Page>'s father.
Carl is mentioned in <The Google Story> Chapter 2 "When Larry Met Sergey".
He divorced from Larry's mother Gloria in 1980 or 1981, "when he \[Page\] was eight years old" according to <The Google Story>. He then moved on to <Joyce Wildenthal>, another MSU professor. Larry had a good relation with both Gloria and Joyce:
> Larry came to feel that he was showered with love and wisdom from two mothers: his real mom, and <Joyce Wildenthal>, a Michigan State professor who had a long-term relationship with his dad.
His obituary on the website of the <Michigan State University>, where he taught most of his life: https://www.cse.msu.edu/Alumni_Friends/Alumni/PageMemorial.php[]:
> Page served as CSE’s \[<Michigan State University>[MSU] Department of Computer Science and Engineering\] first graduate director and had a critical role in promoting the department’s research mission. In 1967, when he joined MSU, the computer science program consisted of only undergraduate courses. Just three years later, the department offered eighteen graduate courses in computer science.
\[...\]
Page taught courses in Automata and <Formal language theory> and <Artificial intelligence>. He was a beloved teacher and mentor to innumerable students until his death in 1996.

Another useful hit from https://tao221.wordpress.com[] found by... <Googling>! Contains the best photo of Carl we've found so far. The screenshot seems to be a Ctrl + P of some website, if only the author knew about <Wayback Machine>! The links on that screenshot would be of interest. The screenshot also mentions other family members:
* Carl B. Page, with a http://cpsr.org/ email. A brother maybe? https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/detroitnews/name/carl-page-obituary?pid=182235576%26utm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dobitsharebeta mentions a Carl B. Page from Michigan who died in 2010.
* <Joyce Wildenthal>, Carl's partner, with a pilot.msu.edu email. TODO what is `pilot`?
