Nancy had this little trick back in high school days. She lived off the far end of Seneca and I lived way down on McKinley. The plan was to leave our houses at the same time and meet halfway. I still can't figure out how I'd get all the way to her side door and never ever get angry with her! I hadn't seen her in ages but thinking of her always makes me smile. I am lucky to have known her, she rescued me from boredom soooo many times.

I was so sad to learn of Nancy's passing. Back in the Harvey & Corky days we not only worked together but also lived together. They were some of the happiest days of my life.
I was blessed to have known her and will cherish the memories. my deepest sympathy.

Nancy was a great friend of mine for over 30 years.
How lucky I was to have known her.
The "Blizzard of 77"/ Sinatras/ Sabres games/ St. Paddy's Day parades/ the Fulmar/ and Chefs are a few of the happy memories I shared with her.
She was the best maid of honor I could have ever had and I loved her dearly

Bill, You have my heartfelt sympathy, Nancy was always there to take care of business when someone asked a favor. We had a lot of laughs when Harvey & Corky would put on a concert at the Aud. She managed to get every Ward Rat and South Buffalo teenager in through the thousand doors, back door, windows etc. She will be truly missed. She was one of my favorite people.

My deepest condolences to you and Nancy's family. She was a wonderful, giving person. When the concert tickets were all gone, Nancy had a way to find some at the midnight hour. I'll always remember the good times at "Katies". May she rest in peace.

Billy ~
The one thing I can say for sure is that Nancy always made sure we had fun!! I will always have the fondest memories of our times together! Do you remember. . . At Mary's wedding you made sure we were entertained first at "Billy's" bar where we had our 1st true Buffalo wings then afterwards at "Nancy's" bar. You gave us our 1st real taste of Buffalo hospitality. We had a blast - well at least the parts we were able to remember! I can remember when we tried to return the favor and you came down to Canandaigua Lake for a boat ride and blue whale cocktails at Thendara's Boat House we had so much fun that ironically, 10 yrs later we bought the lake home right next door! Whenever we came up to visit Mary some of the best times were just meeting up with you two. Whether it be doing a ring toss game in the middle of the Fulmar or just hanging out laughing. We always had fun! You treated us as good friends even though we rarely got to see you. Nancy - you will be greatly missed and Billy you are always welcome for a blue whale on Canandaigua Lake! Please know that you and Nancy's family are in our thoughts and prayers. Nancy made our lives alot more fun and she will be missed!!
