Leo P. Corey, D.D.S.

At 70 years, in Saugus, formerly of Revere, on October 30th, following an intense battle with ALS. Beloved husband & best friend to Debra J. (Mahoney) Corey. Devoted & doting father to Erin E. Cory-Byrne & her husband, Eric M. Byrne of Georgetown, MA & Gavin F. Corey & his girlfriend, Monica Daly of Reading. Cherished grandfather to Shay C. & Sayer L. Byrne. Dear brother of Regina L. Clark & her husband John H. of Juniper, FL. Also lovingly survived by several nieces, nephews & many cousins.

Always and truly passionate regarding the safety and protection of others especially at this pandemic time, a private Funeral Mass was celebrated for “Dr. Leo” in the Immaculate Conception Church of Revere (the parish of his youth and career). Visiting Hours were respectfully omitted and entombment at the Woodlawn Columbarium of Everett will be held privately.

“Dr. Leo” was an alumnus of Immaculate Conception Grammar School & High School, Class of 1968 & a 1972 magna cum laude alumnus of St. Michael’s College of Vermont & Georgetown University School of Dentistry -1976. His associations were at Children’s National Hospital of Washington, DC, Lakeville Regional Hospital, Lakeville, MA & Franciscan Children’s Hospital of Brighton. Member of Revere Knights of Columbus #1979.

The family is most appreciative and deeply grateful with the many spontaneous acts of sympathy & remembrance rendered “Dr. Leo” & his family. However, they would be most grateful for gifts in his memory to Compassionate Care for ALS, 744 West Falmouth Highway, Falmouth, MA 02540.

    We were so sorry to hear of Leo’s passing. We went to IC together. He was in my wife’s class. I was a year ahead. We played sports together. I always enjoyed catching up with him at the reunions. I was so sorry to hear had been stricken with such a horrible disease. The world is a little darker knowing that he is gone.

    My kids – & I loved going to the dentist because of Dr. Corey!
    I was sad when my kids got too old to go to him. He made my autistic son very comfortable. I am truly sorry for your family’s loss. He will be missed May he rest in peace. Prayers & love for your family.

    Dr. Corey took my small child who was terrified of the dentist and earned her trust. She looked forward to her appointments and was devastated when he retired. I only knew his as a dentist and my heart aches. He had an unparalleled ability to work with young children and make them feel safe and respected. My condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace for eternity. ♥️

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.
