“He was always about service to others, and it didn’t matter who you were or what you did or what you needed, whatever that he could provide you with.

“I want the world to remember my grandfather as someone who was really authentic.

“Always being yourself. That’s what he taught our family, that’s what thrives throughout our family, and that’s what we’ll continue to carry on, his legacy.”

According to her, Jerman also got to work closely with the Bush family when former President George H. W. Bush came to power in 1989.

He was promoted to a butler by Former First Lady, Jackie Kennedy when John F. Kennedy came into office in the 1960s.
