How Sad. One of the great QB’s. I will never forget his “Sneak” in the Ice Bowl. God Bless Him.
Played when as the Maranis book on Lombardi is titled “When Pride Still Mattered”!
RIP Mr Starr
Those were football players!
RIP
RIP to a great legend.
He did not have such an outstanding record at the University of Alabama so it is unusual that he was considered by the pros. But he was a phenomenal pro quarterback and a classy guy.
RIP and Roll Tide Roll!
RIP. I first heard about Bart Starr reading some old Junior Scholastic book about him by John Devaney that was in my fourth-grade school-room - I can still remember the cover of that book. I never got to see Starr play, but I knew since the fourth grade that he led those mighty Packers teams under Vince Lombardi and was the MVP of the first two Super Bowls.
I read recently that Starr still has the highest QB rating in post season play.
A Sunday School teacher too.
May Bart Starr rest eternally in the sheltering arms of THE ETERNAL SAVIOR.
Yours, Darla & TMN78247
Frozen fields and fiery men. The NFL of the 1960s was a lot of fun and Starr was unforgettable. RIP, Bart Starr.
85 years is a good run for any man, let alone a former pro ball player. That could mean he did things in moderation.
Disputing that theory is easy; just look at Joe Namath.
After all the excesses and indulgences, Joe will have his 75th birthday this friday on May 31st. So genetic also plays a role in aging. Joe just lucked out.
PRAYERS to his family...
You know you are getting old when your childhood sports heros are passing away...

Bart Starr closely affiliated with this organization for troubled youth.
He was a true gentleman on and off the field.
As a kid, my father and I were were standing in line at a McDs after my Saturday baseball game. On the East coast.
Dad told me to look over at the two guys in the other line, and said “That’s Bart Starr on the right.”
We didn’t ask for an autograph.
I have a helmet signed by him!
RIP.
He was a sportsman. One who played the game to the fullest and loved the game he played.
Never watched a single game in which he played(slightly before my time) but I couldn’t watch a single Packers-Cowboys game in which he wasn’t mentioned fondly.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Starr. Rest in Peace
Condolences to family and friends of Bart Starr. One of my all time favorites along with those great Packer teams and coach Lombardi. RIP Bart. Thanks.

RIP. One of the all time greats.
