Family & friends are invited to attend visiting hours on Friday, September 14th, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home For Funerals, 773 Broadway (Route 107) REVERE for Martin J. ”Marty” Millerick, who passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, September 11th at his residence in Winthrop. He was 65 years old. A funeral service will be conducted in the funeral home following the visitation at 7:15 p.m. Interment will be held privately.

Martin was born & raised in East Boston’s Jeffries Point section. The well-known family resided on Webster Street for decades and was well associated with the Jeffries Yacht Club. Marty is an alumnus of St. Dominic Savio Boys Preparatory High School in East Boston. Later, he furthered his education at Northeastern University where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Marty married Judy R. (Malcolm) Millerick & together they shared 42 years of marriage. The couple resided in Revere and later settled in Winthrop, together, where they raised their family. Marty worked at Bethlehem Steel Shipyard in East Boston for almost 20 years as a Logistics Supervisor. Due to his nature & love for his family, he worked a second job to further provide for them at Federal Express at Logan International Airport in the Heavy Weight Division for well over 10 years. He later took a position at M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory. Marty rose to the ranks of General Supervisor of the Facilities Department, where he was currently still actively working. Marty was dealing with some health issues, but was always courageous and optimistic. Some of Marty’s favorite past times were being with his children and his brothers. In his younger years, he would often be bouncing on the waters of Boston Harbor and the Islands. He had fascination for history and enjoyed learning new things. He was known best of his intellect and humorous personality. He will be missed by many and always be remembered as a man always willing to help out a friend. His very wise and dear mother would often be heard using a quote, “pray for a peaceful death”. Marty’s prayers were answered. He is now in heaven with his parents, brothers and sister.

He is the devoted son of the late Edward C. Millerick & Imelda (Almond) Millerick. Dear husband of Judith R. “Judy” (Malcolm) Millerick. Loving father of Robert K. Millerick, Ryan C. Millerick, all of Peabody, Jennifer L. Millerick – Smith & husband Frank and Nicole D. Doyle & husband Patrick, all of Danvers. Cherished brother of Gerard E. Millerick & wife Deborah and Peter D. Millerick, all of East Boston and the late Lorraine T. Nazzaro, Edward A. Millerick & Richard J. Millerick. Adored grandfather of Lexi N. Millerick, Griffin Doyle, Chase Doyle & an expecting Wesley J. Smith. He is also lovingly survived by many nieces, nephews, loving cousins and many extended family & friends.

    I worked for and with Marty for 30 + years at Lincoln Lab. During those years, he had a great influence on me. A man that told it like it was. He was a straight shooter and I’ll always respect him for that. Never one to beat around the bush.

    My condolences to his Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless your soul Marty. I’m going to miss you my friend!!

    So very sorry for your loss. Marty was our neighbor in Winthrop. He was such a nice guy. A few yrs back, during one of the snow storms he crossed the street with his snow blower to help me with my driveway. He was a huge help and I will ever forget that. We will miss seeing his smiling face. God Bless.

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.
