William J. Quagliano entered into rest August 31, 2026; Bill was a true friend, mentor and motivator to many people. A real self-starter, he put himself through Georgetown University and held the school swimming record in 1650 free (9:50:86) from 1990-2005. Bill helped develop and run Buffalo Home Sellers LLC and was a strong supporter of local businesses like The Parkside Meadow, JAM and he tirelessly created successful fundraisers for Nickel City Splash, U.S. Masters Swimming. A true testament to Bill's character was his love for animals, having nurtured and cared for dozens of cats and dogs. Ashley is missing him tremendously. Bill is survived by and leaves behind many close friends and family members, notably Eric Stimson, Brandi Bashor, Andrew Dobmeir, Frani Rosen, Matt Quagliano, William and Joanne Bassett, David and Nancy Bassett, Steven and Mark Bassett, John and Carol Felski, Sandy Bassett and Lorraine Martzolf, and several cousins. A celebration of his life will be announced in the coming weeks.
