Packers Legend Bart Starr Passed Away


Recommended Posts

Bart Starr was one of the nicest men you could meet.  I meet him in Hoover, Alabama and I took a double take and I said you're Bart Starr aren't you.  He smiled, and extended his hand to shake.  I talked to him about his playing days at Alabama and Green Bay.  His days were before Paul "Bear" Bryant took over.  I told him he was probably the main reason that "Dandy" Don Meredith retired early, and told him I was a big Cowboys fan, but I always liked him as a player and coach.  He asked for my address, and two days later I received an autographed photo from him.  He was truly a class act, and will be missed.  Farewell Bart.

(Arguably) the greatest quarterback in NFL history, and a helluva nice guy. 

Troy Aikman- Bart Starr was a true gentleman and one of the kindest people I knew. I had elbow surgery following our ‘95 Super Bowl in Birmingham and Bart made a visit to the hospital. To this day, not sure how he even knew I was there. #ripbart
