After 25 years of  serving various parishes around Michigan he transitioned to the Charismatic Episcopal Church where he continued to love and serve people. He truly loved his vocation.  His love of the Lord shown through to everyone he encountered.

On July 29,1972 he married the love of his life who he lovingly referred to as “Pamsy”. In their 50 years of marriage they were blessed with 5 children and 11 grandchildren who all adored their  Grandpa/“Pop Pop.”

Starr was a man of many talents and blessed many with his singing and guitar playing. His love of music was passed to his children and grandchildren. He was a talented woodworker, fisherman, an avid gardener and made beautiful stained glass art. He was a lifelong Tigers fan. He also loved trains! Building model trains, and taking his grand children to Greenfield Village to ride the train was always a favorite tradition.
