Ralph F. Menier, Sr.

Family and friends are respectfully invited to attend Visiting Hours on Friday, December 31st in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Route 107) REVERE, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., for Ralph F. Menier, Sr., who passed after a long illness at his home in Atkinson, New Hampshire on December 27th. He was 91 years of age. The Funeral Service will follow the visitation in the Funeral Home at 12:15 p.m., immediately followed with interment in the family lot in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

Ralph was born and raised in Chelsea. The family came to live in Revere, and he was a graduate of Revere High School, Class of 1948. He joined the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict and served for 2 years, having been discharged in December of 1952. Ralph had an intense interest in airplanes and all that made them perform. He was an alumnus of the former New England Aircraft and Engineering school. He worked as a Flight Engineer with American Airlines for 45 years, retiring in 2000. Ralph truly loved his chosen field of work and anxiously would work much overtime simply for the fact of the joy he received while performing. In 1977, Ralph and his wife decided to leave Revere and to enjoy their New Hampshire home permanently. Soon, the entire family followed. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Dorothy M. (Voss) Menier on January 14, 2009.

He is the devoted father of Ralph F. Menier, Jr. & his longtime partner Myrna Lopez, Donna M. Menier & Richard P. Menier of all of Atkinson, NH. He is the proud grandfather of Raymond H. Meiner of Ladson, SC, Rachel G. Menier of Nashua, NH, Alfred R. Rapisarda & Daniel J. Rapisarda, both of Atkinson. NH & Brittany McDougall of Buffalo, NY. Dear father-in-law of the late Tammy Thompson-Menier.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to a charity of your choice.

    I am deeply sorry to hear of Uncle Ralph’s passing. I will never forget swimming, cookouts and fishing at the camp and rides on his pontoon. We have so many great memories and I will always cherish them. May you rest peacefully.

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.
