Early life;

Mr. Tribuani was raised in Wilmington, Delaware from a very early pre school age. He attended Lore Elementary, Bayard Jr. High and Salesianum and Wilmington High Schools.

Please note discrepancy of his year of birth. SSDI and U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index shows as 1918 and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and WWII Draft Card as 1920. (Possibly due to entering National Guard service under-age) Tribuani is believed by his decedents as being born in 1921.
