We are heartbroken to announce the death of our father, Richard (Rick) Lee Starr. He passed away peacefully at the age of 76. Our dad loved watching old western movies and being surrounded by family and friends. He was fun to laugh with. He worked for the United States Postal Service for 28 years. Before that, he served as a sergeant in the Marines. While in the military, he deployed to Vietnam where he was wounded and earned a Purple Heart. He finished his career in Hawaii.

He was preceded by: his mother, Mildred Starr; father, Edmund Starr; brother, Cleveland Starr; sister, Janice Spangler; and brother, Thomas Starr.
