Sports Agent Buddy Baker Lost Both of His Parents—Six Minutes Apart—After They Contracted COVID-19

The Stuart and Adrian Baker Memorial Fund will help subsidize an annual grant awarded to an incoming college student from Queensbridge, N.Y., and also be used to help find a cure for COVID-19.

The Bakers’ unshakeable, unbreakable bond began the same way as so many love stories, with a boy who met a girl at a party and soon after pledged to love her, unconditionally, for the rest of his life. Stuart Baker never broke his promise. Not after he bumped into his soulmate, Adrian, more than half a century ago at a sorority in Queens.
