Jack taught in Milford, MA. before coming to Bar Harbor in 1967 to build and operate The Anchorage Motel with his brother, Paul “Skip” Pelletier. He was a Lions Club member for many years. He also belonged to the Bar Harbor Yacht Club and volunteered with the Habitat for Humanity organization. As a veteran he enjoyed working with the Bar Harbor American Legion Post #25.
