Robert Starks Obituary
Bob was a career trust officer at The First National Bank of Colorado Springs, and for many years, served as the head of that trust department. His co-workers remember his mentorship and wry sense of humor. Eschewing email in favor of a Smith-Corona and a postage stamp, he bestowed upon his friends numerous typewritten notes, news clippings, and New Yorker cartoons.
Bob was born in Dodge City, Kansas to Harry and Gladys Starks and moved to Colorado Springs to attend Colorado College. He and his wife, Helen, celebrated fifty years of marriage in May 2016.
Bob was preceded in death by his brothers, Harry and William Starks, and sister, Betty Mitchell.
He is survived by his wife, Helen Starks; daughter, Amy Starks; son, Robert Marsh Starks, II; and many nieces and nephews.
