But they all seem to find him bothersome, Richie and Cicero in particular. He seems to get along with everyone and is a really good guy overall. When his wife Natalie becomes enraged with Carmy, he even goes so far as to assist Carmy and Richie.
He also appears to tolerate substantial physical and verbal abuse from the rest of the family and does not take it seriously. Following his interaction with Carmy, he mentions the necessity to see an Urgent Care center. Pete is fairly tall and has dark hair that he maintains short to medium-length. He has a mole on his upper cheek, directly beside his nose. And another, closer to his jaw. He also seems to have a dimple on his chin. He has a beard that he maintains fairly short. Natalie’s husband is Pete, however her family is not particularly fond of him.
