Wilson Roosevelt Jerman, who began working at the White House in 1957, was "a lovely man," former President George W. Bush told NBC News.
A former White House butler who served 11 presidents has died at 91 after contracting the coronavirus, his granddaughter confirmed to NBC News on Thursday.
Former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton said that she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, were saddened to hear of Jerman's death. “Jackie O actually promoted him to a butler because of the relationship,” Garrett said. “She was instrumental in ensuring that that happened.”
The way to set a table, the way to speak and the way to dress for different occasions were a regular part of conversations. Jerman's appreciation for the proper way to do things and the value of honest hard work are a part of his legacy, Garrett said. Michelle Obama, in a statement provided to NBC News, said Jerman"helped make the White House a home for decades of first families, including ours."
