Funny and endearing
One thing is certain – one day we are all called to leave this earth but for radio-journalist Samuel Allen Jr. that call came far too early, just two weeks after his 48th birthday.
We remember standing next to him in November 2013, when he reported live about the arrival of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima at the (now old) Government Administration Building.
As the royal couple passed by, Allen told his listeners as if this was the most natural thing to happen, “Yes, here comes Maxima, and I believe she is looking straight at me now.”
It was funny and endearing – and that is how we will remember him.
