Not sure what to say?

I just heard about Ken passing away. What fantastic news! Best regards, Monica Lewinsky

I am sure he was not liked but he was just doing the job he was ordered to do. So I say god's speed to Hevan Mr. Ken Starr

Truly one of the best trial lawyers I´ve had the honor to work with. Our hearts and prayers are with the Starr family. Rest in peace dear friend.

so very sorry of the passing away of Kenneth Starr. We use to live right next door to Ken's parents on ALMA DR., in San Antonio, Tx and have met Ken when he came down to visit his parents. Like his parents, Ken was a Very sweet person, he Learned from the Best---His Parents!! May he Rest in Peace!! Now Up in heaven with the Good Lord GOD and with his Parents!!

As a former graduate of Sam Houston HS, Class of '57, am very proud of your accomplishments. You were a fine man whose life served as a role model to the many who remain. God bless.

Ken Starr was the finest of what a lawyer, Judge and educator should be in America. I've known Ken since 1970, and seen his brilliance, matched only by civility, decency and good humor. Whatever obstacles he inevitably faced in life, God gave him the fortitude to meet head on, and overcome. It never occurred to me I would not see him at our 50th Duke Law School Reunion in 2023. All I want to say is, I am devastated by his loss. Heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Alice Starr and his ...

I´m just a fellow Texan who truly admired Mr. Starr for his leadership and being a man of integrity in a time America seems to need them most. I had the privilege of meeting him and holding a brief conversation when my daughter was moving into her dorm at Baylor U. I felt privileged that such an important man would hold such a friendly and warm conversation with me. May God comfort your family at this terrible time of grief.

I served in the Department of Justice when Ken was the Solicitor General. He was one of the brightest, fair and most decent gentlemen I have ever met. Truly tragic.

Alice and family, how heavy my heart is, to learn of Ken´s death. I´m very troubled by his loss (this world needs people like him), but so grateful for his life and friendship. He made this place better! Though like in the song ("I just looked around, and he´s gone") we miss him, he lives in the presence of Our Lord, and that makes me smile. All the best.
