Dive into the life of Thomas Petrizzo (1933–2022), a key figure in the Colombo crime family. Born in East New York, Brooklyn, Petrizzo joined the Profaci family in the 1950s, initially involved in gambling before expanding into white-collar crimes and union activities. As the father-in-law of Michael Persico, Petrizzo had close ties to the Persico family. He earned his button by 1980 and became heavily involved in construction rackets across New Jersey and New York, contributing to major skyscraper projects through his steel company. Promoted to capo in the late 1980s, Petrizzo was arrested in December 1993 for a vending machine scheme linked to Colombo-owned car dealerships. Informants Sammy Gravano and Al D’Arco identified him as a major player in construction rackets. In 1996, Petrizzo pled guilty to extortion and served 33 months. Following the 9/11 attacks, he was involved in debris removal from Ground Zero but was indicted again on racketeering charges in 2010 and later acquitted. Petrizzo passed away on September 11, 2022.
