HENRY DESANTIS Obituary

DeSANTIS, Henry "Hank" Age 81, of Marshfield, MA, and Naples, FL, formerly of Norwell, died peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends on May 2, 2022. Henry was the son of the late Joseph DeSantis and Margaret Ethel Szymanski. Henry is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Helen (Mahoney) DeSantis. He was the proud father of Scott DeSantis and his wife Marie of Kingston, Kathleen DeSantis of Bedford, Eric DeSantis of Rockland, and David DeSantis of Marshfield. He took great delight in his grandchildren Derek, Daniel, Paul and Katie and his great-grandchildren Grayson, Jake, and Kaylee. Henry's life was also greatly enriched by his late brothers and brother-in-law, their wives, his nephews and nieces, and many close friends. Henry was born in Chelsea, MA, spent his teenage years in Falmouth, MA, and lived for many years in Norwell before moving to Marshfield and wintering in Naples. Henry started his career in advertising but quickly found his real passion in real estate, founding Towne and Country Realty in 1981 in Norwell, MA.
