Starr was the epitome of that I think a man should me... married to Cherry Starr forever, quiet, polite, and able to deliver when necessary and rip it up if required. And maybe the greatest passer, statistically, ever. even better than Brady. Fantastic leader and man.
My buddies and me walked up to the hotel in Winston-Salem,the pack was on the way to washington playoff game72 it was, Bart was so nice to a bunch of wet , snot-nosed 12-14 yr olds,Even asked our names!
Bart Starr was my hero growing up, and I got to meet him and Jerry Kramer as a young teenager at a promotional event. Bart was the nicest guy you could imagine. Jerry Kramer autographed my copy of his 1968 book "Instant Replay" a sports classic which I highly recommend to any football fan.
I don't recognize most of these people, but I recognize this room. isn't this that old house in Eland, next to the school? I wonder who is living there now. Also, Grandpa Ron giving beer to a baby is hilarious.
They don't make them like that anymore . There were better passers but no one had the class he had , no one ! That's from a 60's Colts fan with Unitas ! Vince is getting his team back and Bart is his QB . Dallas may have been Americas team , But that 60's Packer team was God's team !
I’ve been so busy I didn’t even know. For me, it hurts me more and more every time one of the greats of yesteryears pass on...ALLLL the greats my father taught me about , growing up in the 90s...RIP Mr. Bart Starr now and forever.
I totally agree...I'm glad Jerry was alive to see his induction into the HOF.....every year I would write a ton of letters to sports writers and the HOF on Jerry's behalf demanding he be enshrined....

Thank you Mr. Harris! I am a teacher and yesterday I showed this to my students (3rd grade) on a big Smartboard with big sound! They LOVED i! I posted this on my Facebook page and on a Packers message board I frequent (Packerwire). I stated that I wish you would sing at the Superbowl! Sorry that I missed the first few seconds. Beautiful job Mr. Harris, BRAVISSIMO!!!
