Edward M. Spears

Funeral Services & Interment will be held privately for Edward M. Spears, who died on Tuesday, November 8th at the McCarthy Care Center in East Sandwich on Cape Cod, following a long battle with liver cancer, he was 47 years.

Eddie was born in Boston to Muriel D. Spears & Edward Manfra. He was raised & educated in Provincetown. He attended Provincetown High School. During his youth he played soccer & hockey for Provincetown High School, he was very good at both sports and was an excellent teammate.  Eddie knew his calling was to work in the food industry and he followed his passion. He worked in various restaurants in Provincetown & around Cape Cod. He enjoyed cooking and watching people enjoy his food. He also enjoyed gardening where he would grow fruits, vegetables & herbs. His biggest blessing was his son, Justin, he loved him unconditionally & strived to be the best father he could. Unfortunately, due his declining heath and prognosis, he was forced to stop working. We are all saddened by the loss of this wonderful young man who had so much potential & love to give.

He is the loving father of Justin Spears. Cherished son of Muriel D. Spears of Provincetown & the late Edward Manfra. Treasured brother of Richard Days of Cambridge. Beloved grandson of Ralph McAllister & his late wife Ellen McAllister & the late Denise McAllister. Special cousin of Samantha Jo, Meghan, Olivia, Brittany & Jeffrey. He also lovingly survived by many aunts & uncles.

To all our families, friends, and residents of Revere, East Boston, and surrounding communities of the North Shore,

We would like to announce that after 37 years of caring for thousands of families at our 773 Broadway location, on January 31st, 2023 we will be officially RELOCATING, to our new location at 262 Beach St., Revere.
On September 30th, 2022, we proudly purchased the Vazza “Beechwood” Funeral Home – DiPietro and Vazza, Inc. A name that has served families for 102 years. We feel blessed that with all of the interest, the Vazza Family chose us to carry on their century old business and family name. We will become Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals. We will continue to honor the Vazza name and continue our commitment the same way that we always have. We also look forward to having both Louis Vazza and Jessica Vazza Ferragamo alongside of us, as we come together as one.
Our reputation has always been our biggest asset. For many years people always wanted us to have a larger facility, now our facility is the largest funeral home in the area. We will be making many beautiful upgrades to allow our families to have the most elegant facility to honor their loved one.
Although this announcement is bittersweet, as we say goodbye to our home, we are forever grateful for all of you for placing your constant faith and trust in us to care for your loved one. We will continue to do what we are best known for.
Thank you for your friendship and continued support.
God bless you all.
