Dorman worked his whole life serving the sick of Northern and Central Maine, at Augusta General Hospital and was respected in his field, making life-long friendships an important part of his life. He was an avid movie fan, lover of music and collector of fine art and glass ornaments. He was a partner in a Signature Christmas Ornament Studio: "FENIX", co-owned with Ken Linaberry. He enjoyed his gardens and two Boston Terriers, Butch and Molly. He was rather proud of the Heritage of his unique name, passed on from his Grandfather Dorman and Uncle Dorman (Jim) Wheelock, both deceased. He was a talented and popularly sought-after Country DJ, friend to all at PJs Lounge, Augusta particularly, for many years. Mr. Gauthier fought a valiant battle against Cancer and won. His generosity to his family and friends was returned to him many times over especially by loyal friends who shuttled him to and from Maine, NH and Boston hospitals during his treatments. Dorman recently moved to Florida to enjoy his new home, well-earned retirement and a longtime dream of getting away from snow!
