Please accept my sincerest sympathy. Mr. Wilson Jerman seemed like a very loving and respected man. There is a man in the bible named Job that lived his life with integrity and died with integrity (Job 1:1). I think Mr. Jerman lived a satisfying life (Job 42:17).

Thank you Mr. Wilson, "Jerman,"
You served this nation and 11 U.S. Presidents and their families with dignity, grace, integrity and honor. For me, personally, it was an honor, a privilege, and a joy to work alongside you for the 22 years of my U.S. Secret Service career. You were such a fine example for me on how to conduct oneself, both professionally and in life, in general.
In the Scripture, Hebrews 3:3, reference is made to God being the builder of the house but Moses being the owner of the house. This part of the Scripture reminded me of you, Jerman -- your courage, faithfulness, strength and character in building the inner workings of the White House Residence staff. You set the bar very high as a model for others to follow.
Jerman, your life was an example of what faith, courage, leadership and loyalty is all about. May you now rest in peace as you have gone from labor to reward. And although you may be gone, you will never be forgotten!
God Bless You, Sir!

The recent passing of Mr. Wilson Jerman is another loss for African Americans and humanity. His dedication to serving at the pleasure of presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to Barack Obama is a historical fete in itself. Mr. Wilson Roosevelt Jerman is truly a African American hero and pioneer who will be deeply missed.
You have gone home.
