BATH — Mark Paul Pelletier, 52, died June 18 after a 12-year battle with graft-versus-host disease at Spaulding Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

For the last 15 years, Pelletier worked as an electrical supervisor at Bowdoin College.

Pelletier enjoyed camping, boating, fishing and hunting. He was the “master of barbecue” and enjoying challenging anyone for control of the grill. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time his family, close friends and others for whom he cared.
