MORENCI – David Russell DiCenso, age 70, of Morenci, died Tuesday, September 22, 2020, at home with his family by his side. He was born on June 29, 1950, to Pasquale and Charlotte (Allen) DiCenso in Warren, Ohio. David married Joyce Wonders on September 21, 1968, at the Congregational Church in Morenci, and they just celebrated 52 years together. David worked as a general contractor in both residential and commercial. He did everything from putting on roofs to building fireplaces; and like a true contractor, his wife reports they still had some projects left to do on their own home. David enjoyed playing golf, softball and was an avid bowler. He was on the Jerry Lewis Telethon and presented a check from his fundraising efforts in the Morenci community. He followed the Morenci high school football team for many years and braved the frigid weather to cheer on the Bulldogs. David shared his talents in building and bowling with the children in the community. He is survived by his loving wife, Joyce; brother, Joe Topps; brother-in-law, Robert Duff; and the many nieces and nephews that he viewed as his own and always took the time to be involved in their lives. David was preceded in death by his parents; and siblings, Charles Barber, James Hanks, Marlene Duff and Pasquale DiCenso, Jr. At David’s request, cremation will take place with no services. Arrangements have been entrusted to Wagley Funeral Home, Adrian, where online condolences and memories may be shared at www.wagleyfuneralhomes.com.
