Very sorry to hear of Starlin's passing. I worked with him at the Fernald School in Baldwinville many years ago. Starlin always was such a good man to work for. He always gave a pat on the back to you for a job well done. He will be missed. May you find comfort in knowing that he no longer is in pain. God bless.

Uncle Starlin you will be greatly missed. Everytime I clean my car I'll think of you, or the smell of a freshly lit pipe it will make me smile. I'm glad you are at peace now and pain free. Kiss Gram for me, I love you. Godspeed.

Dear Arlene, Ann and Judy
My sympathy to all of you. Starlin was a great man whom I've known for many years. Every Saturday to pick up the meats and " tickets". His little smile and quick laugh and always a big "Hello Judy". He's been on a tough journey the past couple of years but still managed to keep his zest for life. He will be missed by all.
Take care & God Bless

My Father Curtis, and I worked for Starlin at the Fernald School. Years back there was a good bit of tension between the leadership at the Fernald, and the union. At the time I worked at "Brook House"I would find my Dad doing things that we were not part of our listed duties for "direct care". He would say "Starlin Hart asked me to" and I would needle him about it. I got a promotion and went to work for Starlin. . . and my Dad found me doing some labor that I wasn't specifically part of my job. I laughed and told him "Starlin Hart asked me to". . we all looked up to him and he took good care of us, and we would do anything he asked. I have had a lot of bosses since then (1979) but I will always remember Starlin as the best.
