    My sympathies to all of John’s family.
    I met “Nags” while working our college summer jobs at Polaroid in Norwood. He was a janitor and I was a secuirty guard. During our work breaks we took part in highly competitive “stick-ball” games in the loading docks/warehouse area. We used a ball of crumpled tape for a ball and boy could he whip it past me for 3 fast strikes. We met again in summer baseball leagues and later in life, our paths crossed a third time at Trull Brook in Tewsbury. It had been 20 yrs since Polaroid, but who could ever forget his smile and competive – “wise cracking” personality. He was the kind of guy you just don’t forget, I’m grateful our lives crossed at various times of our lives.

Send your condolences.

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.
