Anthony
Censoplano
Mar 10, 2022 — May 12, 2022
Pittsburg
Anthony, also known to his family as "Sonny" and to his friends as "Tony" or "Tony C the Retiree" passed away of natural causes at the Golden Age Living Board and Care in Turlock, California on a sunny Thursday afternoon. Tony lived life big. He did everything big and enjoyed living life with all the bells and whistles. He was friendly, warm hearted and sentimental. Tony was born in Martinez, California and last resided in Pittsburg, CA, until last November when hospitalized for two months. We were told he would never get out of the hospital, but he did and enjoyed the last four months without ever losing his determination to enjoy life. He was a fighter and proud to be an Italian. Tony worked for the Contra Costa County College District at Diablo Valley College for 28 years. He enjoyed every activity you can think of from computer gaming to remote control anything and especially camping and fishing with his favorite nephew Michael Narodzonek (deceased). Tony was previously married to Lenora Pollan of Galt, California and with whom they have always stayed friends and the mother of their son John Censoplano of Deridder, Lousiana and daughter Gail Censoplano of Galt, California. He was married to Betty Jean Censoplano for 26 years before her passing in 1996 and also leaves behind son Scott Eskine of Bloomington, Indiana and daughter Kris Gedney of Manteca, California. Tony leaves behind his best friend Kenny Taylor of Martinez, California, and his wife Kathy. Kenny and Tony were life-long friends and enlisted in the US Navy together and served from September 1955 until 1957 stationed in Japan on the USS Yorktown. He is also survived by his close friend Nancy Senor and her family who have loved him for the past 23 years. Tony is preceded in death by his parents Peter and Mary Grace, his sister Theresa Narodzonek and brother, Joseph Censoplano. He is survived by nieces Nancy Faulkner, Christine Rea, Jessica Censoplano and Pam Narodzonek (wife of Michael), and their families, five grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. His ashes will be interred at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon at a date to be determined.
