He attended Newark Academy, Princeton University, and Rutgers Law School. He served four years in the United States Army Air Forces and Signal Corps.[1]

He was an associate at the law firm of Lum, Fairlie & Foster before being appointed as First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey in 1953.[1] In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed him U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. He served until 1956, when he resigned after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[2]

Del Tufo returned to private practice and taught at Seton Hall University School of Law. In 1960, he was appointed to be a judge on the Essex County District Court. He served until his death in 1970 at the age of 50 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in East Orange.[2]

gollark: The quest gives you a bunch of rocket parts as well as raw titanium, which is nice of it.

gollark: The EIO machine frame does require titanium however.

gollark: It's signalum cell frames and other random stuff. No titanium.
