Peter and Catherine moved to Winter Park, FL a few years later where they raised their children. Pete worked as a Barber and opened “Pete’s Barbershop” in 1988. He is famously known as Pete The Barber. If anyone knows Pete, you will know he was a character. He loved to tell jokes and made all his customers (the ones he liked) feel like part of his family. He enjoyed watching wrestling, playing games with the grandkids and listening to music, especially Andrea Bocelli and Julio Iglesias. Pete was a family man. He loved his family very much. He loved to spoil his grandkids with love and doughnuts. If he didn’t bring a box of Krispy Crème with him something was wrong.
