Richard A. Belliveau, Sr.

Family & friends are invited to Visiting Hours on Wednesday, July 26th from 4:00 pm. to 8:00 p.m. in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107), Revere for Richard A. Belliveau, Sr., who passed on Saturday, July 22nd at the Kaplan Family Hospice, Danvers following a long period of declining health. His funeral will be conducted from the funeral home on Thursday, July 27th at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Funeral Mass in St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 670 Washington Ave., Revere at 11:00 a.m.

Born & raised in Lynn, Richard was an alumnus of St. Jean Baptiste High School, Class of 1967 and then continued onto Bentley College of Accounting, where he was the recipient of a BS in Accounting, a Master’s degree in Taxation & a Master’s Degree in Business Administration consecutively. His accounting career included, Schwartz & Benjamin Inc., Nancy Sales National, Inc., & a stint at the Boston Opera Company. For the past ten years, plus, he has been the business manager for the Parish of St. Mary of the Assumption, Revere. Richard was “workaholic” in the true sense of the word, i.e. his wife tells the story of his insistence at stopping off at St. Mary’s Rectory, Revere, on his last voyage to the hospital, to complete the payroll.  After completing the task at hand, he then agreed to continue on to what would be his last hospital admission.

Richard leaves his beloved & trusted wife of 46 years, Mary R. (Mancini) Belliveau. He is also the cherished son to Alfred & Pauline (Young) Belliveau of Lynn, the devoted father of Richard A. Belliveau, Jr. & his wife Marcy of Peabody, Robert B. Belliveau & his wife Caroline A. of Revere & Rachel R. Belliveau & her wife Kim Rose of Waltham. He is the dear brother of Gerald Belliveau & his wife Christine of Lynn, Ann Meade & her late husband Craig of Merrimac, Ma & the late David R. Belliveau. He is the proud grandfather of Abigail R., Emma E. & Josephine M. Belliveau and Penelope L. & Lucille V. Belliveau & Kennedy M. Belliveau-Rose. He is also lovingly survived by his sister-in-law Marjorie N. Belliveau of Saugus & many nieces & nephews. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery, Everett.

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.
