The AP reports the death of a former White House butler, Eugene Allen, at the age of 90.
"Mr. Allen and his wife, Helene, were profiled in a Washington Post story in 2008 that explored the history of blacks in the White House. The couple were excited about the possibility of Barack Obama's historic election and their opportunity to vote for him. Helene, however, died on the eve of the election, and Mr. Allen went to vote alone. The couple had been married for 65 years."
How heart breaking that his wife died the night before the election. But at least he got to carry on for her.
R.I.P. Mr. Allen.
