A snapshot bio on Lucchese hoodlum Thomas (Red) DiMaio. Thomas (Red) DiMaio was born in 1939 in Queens. By the mid-1970s, he resided out in Dix Hills at 104 Weeks Dr. in Suffolk County. DiMaio was identified as a Lucchese Family “associate” and “key” aide to soldier Aniello (Neil) Migliore. He allied with Migliore and Samuel DiMaggio in gambling operations and through Migliore to capo Joseph (Joe Narrow) Laratro. Thomas (Red) DiMaio In 1967, he was described by the Queens D.A. as an important figure in gambling operations in both Queens and Suffolk Counties. He was charged along with Migliore and several others in a police bribery scheme in Queens to protect sports betting operations in that county. DiMaio had a record of 15 arrests for bookmaking (11 times,) bribery, disorderly conduct, and consorting with known criminals. He had convictions for bookmaking (9 times,) disorderly conduct, and bribery. There is no disposition available for those convictions. DiMaio seems to have fallen off the radar. No more was heard from Di Maio after the mid-1970s, and no DOD is available. Until next time..."The Other Guy"
