    Carol,
    Our condolences to you and all the kids. When Vinnie invited Renelle and myself into his ski house way back in 1999 I really got to know and most of all enjoy being around him. Always had a smile on his face, especially up in ski country!
    Whether it was getting a haircut, selling him skis at Chisholms or making a few runs with him at Sunday River, he was always such a pleasure to be around.
    He will be missed.
    Sincerely,
    Jim and Renelle

    To the family and friends of Vinnie, deepest condolences on the loss of this great man. I was a ski buddy for many years and shared many wonderful times at Sunday River. Sympathy and thamks to his wife who was always so thoughtful to send Vinnie with wonderful food to share at our ski loft. It will not be the same at the mountains with our dear friend. Rest in peace Vinnie.. You will always be remembered and truly missed. I have a prior commitment cut will try to make it to the funeral home if I can tomorrow.

    Our deepest sympathy to you Carol and the entire Dolci family. Vinny was a cherished member of our family and he will be missed by all. Mom especially loved her appointments and friendship with Vinny. Of course there were those nervous days when she occasionally wanted her hair left a bit long, because as long as sports were the topic of discussion, Vinnie’s hands and his lips never stopped moving. He was the definition of a friend, as the simple utterance of the name Vinny near any branch of the Corvino Family Tree was sure to elict a smile and feelings reserved for the type of friend who effortlessly always gives you his best, and for whom generational boundaries did not exist.

    The jazz will be playing for you tonight my friend…

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.
