William “Bill” Wlodarczyk, CPA
Chief Executive Officer
“Previously as the Fox Run Chief Financial Officer, my professional focus was to procure a sound business plan with an emphasis on open communication. My current philosophy has not changed much, just broadened now that I have become the Chief Executive Officer.
Fox Run is an architecturally stunning facility with state-of-the-art amenities, and a beautiful 54-acre campus to call home. However, what makes Fox Run shine is its Community Members! Fox Run Community Members embrace the attitude of Live Life and I witness this on a daily basis. Consistent with Fox Run’s Mission Statement ‘…an exceptional living option where seniors may age with grace and dignity,’ you have my word that I will see this through. As I previously mentioned, my door is always open; so please feel free to reach out to me.”
Bill holds a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Canisius College, and a Masters of business administration from The University of Buffalo School of Management. He also holds his Certified Public Accountancy license. Bill is also a member of the Continuing Care Retirement Community Cabinet of LeadingAge New York.

Matthew J. Lawless
Director of Facilities
Matthew believes that the maintenance and upkeep of the Fox Run campus as a whole are equally important as the Community Members themselves. Some of his favorite memories include enjoying the outdoors with friends and family, which could explain where his appreciation for beautiful landscapes comes from. Through attention to detail and a team-centered work environment, he is able to keep the Fox Run campus immaculately maintained.
Matthew J. Lawless
Director of Facilities
As Director of Facilities, I oversee a wide variety of daily tasks and long-term projects on our vibrant 54-acre campus, home to over 300 Fox Run Community Members. I have extensive experience managing projects for a home builder and owning my own general contracting business for over 10 years, which has enabled me to excel in this multifaceted role. Projects at Fox Run range from keeping our grounds looking beautiful and managing the operational requirements of our 290,000 square-foot building to making sure the microphone is working for weekly Friday Coffee Hour. My largest project at Fox Run was the management of the 14,000 square-foot addition to and renovation of our Health Center.
I am grateful for the hardworking and dedicated members of my Maintenance and Housekeeping Teams, which are crucial in getting everything done! I have a sense of pride that we can handle anything that comes our way. Since we regularly work in the homes of Fox Run Community Members, it is imperative that we establish a foundation of trust with them. All of my team members work hard to develop personal relationships with each and every Community Member in the community. We truly make a difference in their lives, which is the most rewarding part of our job.
Outside of Fox Run, my wife and I are happily busy with the schedules of our three young children and our dog Luna. We are constantly on the move, but enjoy doing it all together. In the summertime, you will often find us at Taffy’s Hot Dog Stand—our favorite place to eat!

Mary Watts Wellington, MS, LMHC
Director of Resident Services
Mary’s goal as Director of Resident Services is to build on the six dimensions of wellness offered at Fox Run: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social, and vocational. She aims to better the lives of everyone involved in the community – both those who live and work here – in everything she does. And trust us, when she puts her mind to something, she achieves it – like her time playing semi-pro soccer for the Buffalo Phillies.
Mary Watts Wellington, MS, LMHC
Director of Resident Services
“In January of 2014, I was promoted from Resident Liaison to the Director of Resident Services at Fox Run at Orchard Park. Having had the opportunity to meet all of the Community Members, their families and staff alike, I couldn’t believe what a caring, and exciting ‘culture’ that exists at Fox Run. It’s such a privilege to be a part of this community. Having said that, I strive to carry out the Fox Run mission statement every day: ‘Fox Run at Orchard Park offers an exceptional living option where seniors may age with grace and dignity.’ Fox Run offers programs and events that encompass the six dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social and vocational. My goal is to build on existing caring relationships and continue to better Fox Run for all living and working here. I will always help in any way I can, that’s my nature. My door is always open for an idea or concern. I am engaged with the Community Members daily; the heart of this community.”
Mary graduated from The State University of New York at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science in health and human services. She completed her Master’s degree at Canisius College and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Mary currently serves on the United Church Home Society Senior Wishes Granting Committee.
