He was born Thomas Angelo Agro in BK in 1931. His father was Angelo Agrò, born in 1903 in Calascibetta, Enna. The Agròs initially lived in Fayette County, WV, where Angelo’s father Giuseppe probably worked as a coal miner after immigrating to the US around 1910, and then relocated to BK around 1920. Tommy Agro’s mother was Rose Guallarano, born in 1908 in Tunis to Trapanesi parents from Marsala and Partanna.
In 1940, the Agros lived at Ellery and Marcy Ave in BedStuy, across the street from where the Marcy Houses were later erected. They subsequently moved to Kosciuszko St and then to 1063 Hancock in Bushwick. Later in life, Tommy Agro had addresses in Maspeth and Flushing.
Tommy Agro was enlisted in the Army from 1949 to 1951 and when he returned to NYC in 1951 he married Marion Bonura, who I believe was from Downtown Manhattan.
