He was the son of Michael Pette (died 1952). He attended schools in Jamaica, Queens and Strasbourg, France. He married Gertrude Lott (died 1943), and they had one daughter: Janet Lott (Pette) Kujan.
He was a justice of the New York Supreme Court (10th D.) from 1950 to 1961, and sat in the Appellate Division (2nd Dpt.) from 1959 until the end of 1961, when he reached the constitutional age limit. He was an Official Referee (i.e. a senior judge on an additional seat) of the Supreme Court from 1962 to 1966.
In 1957, he married Ruth (Hagen) Carney (1910–2002).
New York Red Book (1920; pg. 198) [The Red Book states as birth date "November 29, 1890", but Justice Pette would thus have reached the constitutional age limit at the end of 1960. As he sat on the Appellate Division during 1961, he should have been born in 1891.]
