Rest In Peace Bart! A true class act and a life well lived.

[@marcuswest1318]

Rest In Peace to the legend Mr. Bart Starr. Your legacy will carry on forever, sir.

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

I was a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan. I started watching pro football in 1964 at 8 years of age. I have to be honest in saying that Bart Starr was the first NFL QB that I didn't like, but It wasn't because I thought he was mean or anything... he ALWAYS beat my Cowboys.😂 When I got a little older & more mature, I realized what a gentleman he was, and along with Johnny Unitas, being the competitors they obviously were, probably the greatest QBs in NFL history. R.I.P. Bart Starr God bless our pro football heroes from a bygone era.🏈

[@martinleavitt6094]

Well said..#15..forever..from a life long Boston/New England fan!!

[@goodsoprano1]

I am one of the fans who enjoyed seeing Bart Starr's jewelry in the Packers Hall of Fame at Lambeau. I am old enough to remember Starr as a player and he is the reason I root for the Packers to this day. He was a class act to the end and he will never be forgotten.

[@daltonweathersby1320]

He passed today. Rest In Peace

[@bigbaz8314]

wow, what a humble guy, wish their were more like him today!

[@cathyrauwald1372]

Oh what a wonderful world this would be, if we had alot more like him!

[@thepartyneverens7048]

Hes gone now :(((

[@MikeyD22]

Bart epitomized everything you could ask for in a great quarterback - leadership, toughness, brains, and clutch play. Even more importantly, he epitomized everything you could ask for in a human being - class, dignity, courage, humility, and kindness. This world would be a much better place if there were more people like him.

AMEN!!!!!!!!

[@headshotsongs9465]

When you look at Starr in his final years, remember, that's life. But also remember his best years. Not just as a player, but a man of his community.

[@thomasnorman9723]

Thank you mr Bart Starr for donating the championship rings do the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame that video of you scoring the winning touchdown in the Ice Bowl will live forever well as long as there's NFL fans

[@tonydurago9844]

I met Bart Starr at Clark Air Base in the Philippines when he was part of the USO show touring the Far East Military Bases two weeks after the Packers won the 1st Super Bowl in 1967, I was Packer fan since 1964. Rest in Peace Bart a Very Humble Honest Classy Gentleman.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

The first superbowl was 1966.

[@richardclifford003]

I've often posted that I'm a Packers fan rather than a player's fan. However, Bart Starr was my role model and idol ever since watching the 1960 championship game. My first book on a sports personality was "Bart the Cool" which I purchased when I was ten. I still have the tattered and torn edition with cribb notes on the pages. The three men I miss most in my life are my father, my brother, and Bart Starr. He is the model all athletes should strive to emulate. RIP, Bart. I still celebrate your birthday on 9 Jan.

[@rotorhd2]

From Canada...I had that book! It was from Scholastic Book services, and I'm ashamed that I lost it over the years. Been a Packer fan and a Bart Starr fan since the early 60's.

[@rgracia633]

Bart Starr, was a class act. RIP

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

Rest in peace, Mr. Starr. A true champion, NFL icon, and grace and class personified. Tell Coach Lombardi I said hello.

[@deborahf.89]

What a beautiful gesture from Bart and Cherry to the Packers Hall of Fame. Rest in Peace Bart. You will be in our hearts forever.

[@Doral4720]

Great QB. Great Man. My favorite player of all-time. I thank God that I had the chance to meet and talk to him on various occasions.

[@janelaughrin5153]

RIP Bart Starr......Thank you for showing what is best in sports. Always a class act....a remarkable and genuine human being. You make Packer nation proud and we are forever grateful. Prayers to your lovely wife and family.

[@gregorycrnkovic1660]

I met Bart in 1966 at the lincoln-mercury dealer in Joliet, Illinois. I was 8 years old and my baby brother was crawling around and Bart picked him up in his arms and talked to us what seemed like forever. In 1990 a house fire took everything including his autographed picture and a poster of my other favorite Ray Nitschke. As life would have it in 1997 my brother and I got to meet Ray at the Rosemont convention center and I just started to cry. Here I am a 39 year old guy, 6'6". 275lbs. and crying like a baby. Ray came around and hugged me and put his arm around my brother. When I see anyone who is famous and they don't have a moment to share with a fan I just think of that moment.

[@MarkOhlson]

Bart Starr is the reason I became a Packers fan. He will never be replaced.

[@rrbuff1960]

My childhood hero. What an amazing player and man of character and integrity. What an era of players. I visit the GB Hall of Fame in October 2015. What an experience! Got a Green Bay Packers football uniform the last year I believed in Santa Claus. Mom promptly sewed a number 15 on the blank green shirt. Number 15 will live forever in my heart. Thanks for the memories Bart Starr!

[@Dadmusclr]

Now he is in the biggest hall of fame of all......many thanks for a life well lived

[@UrbanSipfly]

From a New York Giants fan: Mr. Bart Starr thanks for the NFL memories!

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Bart Starr is a GREAT man.

[@christophernewman6420]

As you age you really appreciate the no-nonsense guys that don't beat their chest but just go do it. This guy was that! Quiet, efficient, and a true gentleman.

[@douglasplein1124]

Bart Starr will always be my favorite Green Bay Packer.

[@irock4u222]

Bart Starr..long before the seahawks Bart was my favorite..and i was always him in games..rest in peace

[@jaeearly7215]

My favorite football player of all time. Pure class with integrity.

[@lifemomentsca]

Rest in peace Bart Starr you left such beautiful legacy

[@Wixom2200]

I don't know why I thought about Bart Starr today. I was thinking about this GREAT player today. I am a real man, but I was deeply moved. If wasn't for my favorite player UNITAS, he would have been the greatest 60's QB. Starr a real man! Bless you brother.

[@MarioCastillo-gd7qu]

I was 6 years old watching green bay beat the Dallas cowboys for the championship game. I fell in love with Bart Starr and the Green bay packers and been my favorite team all these years. Thank you so much for the memories!! Rest in peace Bart Starr.

[@tonyspadafora4016]

The absolute General of the NFL. RIP Bart. 🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@MDJ-wb1pn]

If more athletes in today’s nfl were more humble and like a bart Starr I would love the nfl again but what I see when it comes to on and off the fired behavior and greed of how much money I can make is ridiculous. It’s a pattern you see In society today. I don’t see it getting any better. I really do wish there were more guys like Starr and when you find a guy like this one tell the media to focus on these kind of guys and not the ones that break the law and demand money through holding teams hostage.

[@authormikemontie250]

Compared to Favre and Rodgers, Bart would be the first to say that he did not have the talent or the physical ability that they had/have. Yet he only lost one playoff game, and was the MVP of the first 2 Super bowls. Thank you Favre and Rogers for your great plays, I loved watching. But the best quarterback, the best player, the best man, to play for the Green Bay Packers was Bart Starr. He did more with less talent.

[@headshotsongs9465]

Bart Starr fans go way beyond Green Bay.

[@EdwinBM56]

Bart Starr had the gentleness of a real man, father and husband. Furthermore,he possessed a warrior like mentality, which enabled him to step up his game in crucial situations to bring about victory for the Packers.God bless you Bart! ❤ R.I.P. Sir!!

[@jacksmith5692]

The players were much smaller than today but the game was vicious and it shows the impact on so many 1950's to 1970's players.

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

Jack Smith You mean the players were less fattass... right?

[@LR-kn8zo]

One of my heros growing up as a kid. Rest in peace.

[@bulletman124XXL]

What a true legend! Thank you to his wife and family for the great gift that is a true treasure! We'll never forget Bart, he is everything Green Bay Packers football is about and strives to be in pursuit of perfection.

[@rickpeuser233]

I am balling my eyes out. I love you both.

[@davidm2688]

You are truly with God Almighty, Bart Starr. As fine a man and player who ever lived.

[@davidabney7700]

A man among men! Truly, truly a wonderful man, great quarterback, and inspiration for many! He played football, he coached football, but above all these given accolades, a man with deep character qualities! What a honor for me to watch him play during the late 50's and 60's with Green Bay! Those glory years of pro football, never to be seen again!

[@markroberts9577]

What a commitment to an organization! I think it's amazing that the organization held him in such high esteem and I hope will continue to do so for generations to come

[@ronwallace6273]

God bless bart starr and all he does for the boys ranch and all he has done for Wisconsin and all packers fans you forever will be our hero and class act I wish you well

One of my childhood heroes.I was in awe of him and the packers

[@fredkoltz9788]

Thank you, USA Today, A wonderful man who will be deeply missed. . . .

[@easygoing2479]

His plunge into that frozen south endzone at Lambeau field is to this very day my first memory of the NFL 50-some years ago. Bart Starr was the definition of _Class_ in pro sports, right alongside all-timers like Stan Musial and the few like him. Back in the day when civility ruled.

[@johncirillo9544]

I had three sports heroes growing up, Bart Starr, Bobby Orr, and Carl Yastrzemski. I don’t think that I could have chosen a better triumvirate. Rest In Peace, #15. ❤

[@MUSIC-MARY]

GREATEST QB of all time!!!

[@pauljohnston2008]

My dad was childhood friends with Bart starr, and claimed he actually taught Bart how to throw a football!

Bart was my all-time favorite player. A great leader, winner and gentleman. I was fortunate enough to have known him. RIP Bart!

You will be missed, leave peacefully Bart Starr.

Packers are the best operation in pro sports. My team was moved to Indy by a drunken fool and now a coke addict son.

[@cherbutler85]

It’s amazing, if the think about it. A resume that included 5 NFL Championships. And not once did he, or anyone associated with his team, have to cheat to collect them.

Too bad the HOF got sucked up under the same umbrella as corporate. The new HOF has no character, no feeling of tradition - just big business.

Those are beautiful rings. I would rather have one of those than the goddi looking ones they make today.

[@marknan5352]

That ring is a symbol of 3 staight championships. Not even tom brady has that ring. No other QB has that ring.

[@obbzerver]

No one will ever profit from his jewelry - how about some charity?

[@JK-br1mu]

So conmen can scare old ladies into giving away family jewelry to charity.

[@Wdroster]

It's the Starr families possessions, just on lone to the Packers, so the fans can enjoy them when they visit. A very unselfish act.

[@JK-br1mu]

@@Wdroster that's too bad they felt unable to keep the Super Bowl ring, because of the theft
