John V. Mercurio

Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Friday, March 17th beginning at 8:30 a.m., in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107), REVERE, for John V. Mercurio who passed unexpectedly on Sunday, March 12th after being stricken at his Middleton home & rushed to Beverly Hospital. The visitation will be followed by the Funeral Service in the Funeral Home at 10:30 a.m., followed by interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

Born & raised in Syracuse, New York, John & his family came to live in East Boston, where John attended school. At the very tender age of 10 years old, the Boston Post, did a story on John regarding his success, as an already business success. As an entrepreneur, he was brilliant, as having the largest & most loyal shoe-shine business on Beacon Hill. Keep in mind that we are reading an article that appeared in the Boston Post in 1938. After reading this remarkable article you will understand and appreciate, the personality of our beloved John V. Mercurio. John worked for over 35 years for the former, New England Metalurgist Co. of Norwood & South Boston, as a Master Welder. His ability to be the best & still retain his charm, carried him throughout his lifetime. His beloved late wife of over 65 years, Helen E. (Saladino) Mercurio, died last May, (May 4, 2016). The couple had made the move to Middleton in 2013 to be with their son & daughter-in-law. They had resided early in East Boston & then in Chelsea-Revere for over fifty years.

He is the devoted father of Richard T. Mercurio & his wife Sharon of Middleton & the late John S. “J.J.” Mercurio. He is the dear brother to Lucy Fields of Medford, Gloria Palmerini & husband, William of Saugus & the late Thomas & Salvatore Mercurio. Also lovingly survived by longtime friend, Laura Fiore-Osgood & her family of Revere.

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.
