- Legacy Giving Stories
The Aaron Spector Take Me Out to the Ballgame Fund, established by Judy and Bob Huret in memory of Judy’s father, who died in 2005, provides financial assistance to senior sports fans in the Bay Area so that they have the opportunity to attend local games. By paying for tickets, transportation, refreshments, and other costs associated with attending local sporting events, this fund will allow low-income seniors to indulge in their love of sports.
Aaron Spector was a lifelong sports fan who loved going to see the Giants and 49ers play after he moved to San Francisco.
Born December 19, 1918 in Philadelphia, Aaron served on the front line in World II, earning a combat medal and a Bronze Star. A dentist who valued honesty, hard work, education, and family, Aaron filled his non-work hours by playing golf and rooting enthusiastically for the Phillies and Eagles. He had a smile for everyone; his cheerful, positive attitude sustained those around him. For his family, it was wonderful to see Aaron take such pleasure in attending baseball and football games, where he could socialize with fellow fans, demonstrate his deep knowledge of the games, and, for a little while, forget about growing older.
Shared from the Heart
Take Me Out to the Ball Game!
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.
