Starr was a U S Marine Corps veteran, serving as a pilot during WW II. Upon leaving the military Starr attended Oswego State College earning a degree in Industrial Arts. He taught school for several years. While teaching, Starr was running Martin Marine, a boat sales and repair business. The business then became a full-time job which he continued to operate until he retired. There was not much that Starr could not do. He spent years redesigning and rebuilding his Pine City home. Starr loved to work on maintaining his property and was still mowing his lawn until just a few years ago. The Martin family is grateful to the Bath VA Medical Center for the wonderful care they provided to Starr for the last 3 years.
