I am married to Michael DeCenzo, who is also a grandson of Tony DeCenzo. Michael is one of three boys and his brothers are David DeCenzo and John DeCenzo. We live in Virginia, David and his family live in Myrtle Beach, SC, and John lives in Maryland. Joseph DeCenzo, their father (son of Tony)is still living in Clinton, MD and is 92 as of this writing. It is always special to see memorable items on the DeCenzo's and see how far the family extends! Ciao! Catherine DeCenzo
