My deep sympathy goes out to Nancy and the entire extended Continelli and Barbour families.

Bill was my good friend going all the way back to the early 1970s at the Canisius Univ. radio station.  We enjoyed some camping trips and many hikes over the years.  Bill had an incredible  sense of humor, and he was smart, gregarious, an engaging storyteller, and the best car driver I ever knew.  Whenever his business trips brought him back to Buffalo, he always made it a point to get together for some wings and beer.

God bless you and all your family, my dear friend.

My heart goes out to Nancy and all the children on both sides. Bill was a great friend, coworker and comedian.  I will miss his posts and his humor. He was always there to help me with a bankruptsy case and never made me feel at ease for coming to him for help.   I always knew to NEVER get my peanut butter cookies too close to him, EVER!  He was highly allergic.  Will miss you Bill

I'm so sorry for your loss, Nancy.  I remember Bill very well from the many years I worked at IRS.  Even though I was in Exam, our paths crossed many times.  Like his mom, Bill was a wealth of knowledge and always happy to help.  He will be missed by so many.  Wishing you and your family comfort in this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy goes to his wife Nancy and to all of his children and grandchildren.  I knew Bill from his first day of training as a Revenue Officer to the last project we worked on together for the bankruptcy unit of the Collection Division of the IRS.  His dedication and intensity to whatever to the issue at hand was only overshadowed by his sense of humor he brought to the work at hand.  He will be missed.
