Born in Solano, Reggio Calabria, Italy, to Francesca and Nicola Bueti on December 16, 1933, he was the third of five children.

Bueti and his brother migrated to the U.S. in 1954, when he was 20 years old and lived in Chappaqua, where he learned the building and construction trade while working with his cousins.

In 1968, he founded Carbut Building Corporation with Pasquale Carrozza and his younger brother Antonio Bueti. They built many custom homes in the Chappaqua and Mount Kisco area during a 25-year span; he retired in 1993.

Bueti met his wife Domenica (Minnie) at a cousin's wedding, where Domenica was the singer in the wedding band. They lived in North White Plains, before building a house in Mount Kisco. They were married for over 56 years and had four children.

He was also a founding member of the Solano Italian-American Social Club in the 1950's, where he enjoyed gathering with cousins and friends.
