Jack was born & raised in Boston’s West End. He attended Boston Public Schools and knew his calling from an early age. He enjoyed giving back and enjoyed working with people. Jack worked as a CNA at the Chelsea Soldiers Home for many years, then went to work at the Don Orione Home, now Advocate Healthcare of East Boston, where he has been for the past 25 years. He enjoyed working closely with his patients, which he became very fond of and they fond of him.  Over the years of his career, he made many friendships, and it was the little things he did that made people love him. He was a selfless person and was always thinking of others. His presence will surely be missed.

He is survived by his niece who he made his home with Laura G. Nichols & her husband Vincent, her mother Roseanne Roberto & nephew Edward J. Roberto. Grandniece Lauvauni & grandnephew Vincent Nichols, all of Revere. He is also lovingly survived by his family at Advocate Healthcare of East Boston, and the many residents and co-workers as well.

    You took care of my Mom when she was at the Oak Island Nursing Care Facility at the beach from October 1994 until until she passed in September of 1998. That facility later was closed and it was remodeled into a Condominium. My mother always would mention you when I visited her with my sweet Nino. I recall you telling me that she was a very nice lady. Thank you for your devoted care to her. God will reward you who cared for the sick and aged. Many may be welcoming you now into heaven. God Bless you Jack.

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.
