Henry R. Fountain

Family & friends are invited to attend Visiting Hours on Sunday, May 5th in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107) Revere from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., for Henry Rollin Fountain, who passed most unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 1st at the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, Melrose. His funeral will be conducted from the funeral home on Monday, May 6th at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Funeral Mass in the Immaculate Conception Church (Corner of Beach St. & Winthrop Ave.) at 11:00 a.m. Interment is private.

Born & raised in Chelsea, he lived most of his life in Revere and was an alumnus of Revere High School, Class of 1960. He & his family moved to Wakefield about 15 years ago. For over 17 years, he has been employed with the Mystic Valley Seniors as a meal coordinator, a job he loved and considered almost as a ministry helping the “Seniors” with their food planning. For many years, before working with Mystic Valley, he worked in retail management and for some ten years was a Retail Manager for the Bradlee’s Department Stores of New England. His greatest love & devotion was to his large and caring family. His sudden and unexpected passing is indeed an enormous grief to bear, however, as he was an active practicing Catholic, and a Eucharistic Minister for Immaculate Conception Parish, he was duly prepared, pray God.

He is the beloved husband of Roberta M. (Russo) Fountain & the cherished father of Andrea M. Clark of Danvers, J. Henry Fountain & his wife, Kim of Danvers, Nicole R. Sweet & her husband, Curtis of Sandown, NH., Justin A. Fountain & his fiancee, Stacey Roche & Amanda M. Green & her husband, Joseph all of Revere, Neal H. Fountain & his wife, Gina of Danvers & Alec H. Fountain of Wakefield. He is the dear brother of Freda Lehnen, Vern Fountain & Claudette Fountain, all of Grand Rapids, Michigan & the late Andrew Fountain. He is also lovingly survived by nine (9) grandchildren, (2) great grandchildren & many nieces & nephews.

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.
Faithfully,

Your friends at Vertuccio Smith and Vazza.
