Anthony (Tony Ducks) Corallo was born on February 12, 1913 in Manhattan.
By the early 1950s, he had relocated with his family to the Whitestone/Malba section of Queens, where he would first reside for years at 144-67 North Drive.
He later moved to a larger home within the same community at 13-61 144th Place. By the mid-1970s, he relocated to Nassau County, first to the Syosset area and then later to a multi-million dollar ranch-style home on Grace Lane in exclusive Oyster Bay Cove.

Tony Ducks stood at a squat 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed 175 pounds. With medium, close-cropped brown hair and sharp blue eyes with glasses, Tony always had a studious look to him.
According to underworld legend, Tony Ducks acquired his nickname from his uncanny ability to “duck” various subpoenas and criminal cases over the years.
