Robert James “Bob” Starr – Services for Robert J. “Bob” Starr, 80, of Lexington, will be private. Woodridge Funeral Home of Lexington is assisting the family. Bob Starr passed away September 3, 2023. Born in Ridley Park, PA, he was the son of the late Jimmy and Dorothy Starr. Bob was an Army veteran, and served in the Vietnam War as a helicopter mechanic.
