Meet Bill and Leanne
Bill and Leanne have been married for 43 years and purchased their home in Lake Forest Park, WA in 1983 from an auction. Knowing the roof needed to be replaced, Bill and his brother-in-law went to work replacing the roof together. Over the years Bill took it upon himself to clean and maintain the roof along with other homeowner projects like building new cabinets and tackling various plumbing projects. Bill’s passion has always been working on cars and driving them. He was able to create a successful career out of his passion and was a driver for Seattle Metro for 16 years. The couple raised their 2 daughters in their Lake Forest Park home and still have their daughter’s senior project, a picnic table she built herself, out in front of the house. In time the memories, the love, and the projects in their home grew. Each one a testament to the life and family they built together.
A few years ago Bill started noticing some tingling in his hands that never seemed to go away. At first, he was able to brush the instances off but soon could not ignore that something seemed off. With the insistence and encouragement of his wife Leanne and their two daughters, Bill began his journey to a diagnosis, a journey that took 10 doctors and nearly 3 years. Bill was diagnosed with ALS, a diagnosis that ended his driving career. The diagnosis and the disease have been a big adjustment for both Bill and Leanne but they are intent on making the best of every moment together, as they always have.
