Owners of South Bay home Jimmy Carter helped build remember former president fondly

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- President Jimmy Carter is being remembered fondly across the nation, and right here in the Bay Area.

One South Bay family is extremely grateful to him for the time, energy and dedication he showed to Habitat for Humanity.

That San Jose family lives in a home he personally helped build more than a decade ago.

It was back in when President Carter visited that family as their new home was being finished.

They are still just as excited and grateful for that day all these years later in the very home they say has changed their lives.

ABC7 covered the building of the home now belonging to Tiruwork Leyew and Mulugeta Jenber.

People around the Bay Area knew and remember President Jimmy Carter, saying there was so much to his legacy before and after his time in office.

The former president was ready to take on any task that the Secret Service had to reel him in.

"He was years-old.

I was cracking up because the only thing the Secret Service would not let him do is get on the roof," remembered Janice Jensen, the President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.

Jensen was there at that San Jose build.

"I remember him hanging that front door and the precision," she said.

"He was not going to let it go unless it was perfectly right."

Jensen said the legacy President and Mrs. Carter left behind will only continue to grow.

"We're going to miss both of them, but we will honor that legacy," she said. "We have been, and we are, and we will going into the future."

Part of that legacy's growth will be through the two children who have been able to live and grow in the San Jose house that's filled with reminders of the man who helped make it possible, including a picture of their parents with the Carters that still proudly hangs in the living room - and of course, that front door.

"Without him, [we could not] get this house," Leyew said, "He has a good heart.

I'm sad."

Habitat for Humanity encourages anyone who's inspired by the work set in motion by President Carter to get involved.
