He is also lovingly survived by many grieving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews & cousins. No text would be complete without mention of Stephen’s constant canine companion Hunter. In the upcoming weeks & months, a plethora of observations & salutations, regarding Stephen’s magnanimous personality, not to mention, his award-winning good looks will be repeated & repeated. However, no attempt could satisfy or justify the goodness of the soul resting in the fine young man. Interment will be held privately.

    I am deeply shocked and saddened by the untimely loss of this fine young man. I met Steve 25 years ago whilst working for Herb chambers in Somerville,ma. We quickly became friends and would talk baseball for what seemed like hours on end. When He moved to Middleton he invited me up to his house and he was just a fantastic fantastic man. I became friends with his brother Michael also.
    my thoughts and prayers to the Fauci family and extened family

    You will be missed by so many friends and a huge family. Your kind ways will be remembered and your good looks I’ll never forget.
    I will always remember sitting next to you at a picnic at your Aunt Paulines house I said to you it’s nice to sit next to someone who has bigger thighs than me. We had a good laugh, you always smiled and I can still se those beautiful teeth. You will be sorely missed by so many.

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.
