The son of the late Joseph J. Falvo and Vera A. Falvo, Bill was born in Red Bank.
A graduate of Red Bank High School, he earned a B.S. from Monmouth College (now University) and master's degrees in Student Personnel Services from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) and School Administration and Supervision from Rider College (now University). His career began in teaching high school math and science, and over the years he rose to the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Woodbridge Child Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Avenel. Bill dedicated himself to his responsibilities at WCDTC, where the staff and students became his extended family.

An avid baseball fan, he organized the annual field trip and fundraiser to the Trenton Thunder baseball game for the Knights of Columbus, in which he was a Third Degree Knight. Bill was a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe KOC Council and a member of St. George's Catholic Church in Titusville.
A 40-year resident of West Amwell, he loved living in the township and especially enjoyed sitting on his front porch having his morning coffee, surrounded by nature and often joined by his much-loved "pride" of rescued cats.
