A bedridden 69-year-old veteran terminally ill with cancer died shortly after going on a fishing trip that was his dying wish. Connie Willhite, a boastwain’s mate for the Navy in Vietnam from Soperton, Georgia, snagged a fish for last time on Aug. 26, three days before he died. A hospice social worker at the Carl Vinson Medical Center in Dublin, Georgia, organized the fishing trip, Fox 24 Macon reported Thursday. “It’s called fishing, it’s not called catching, so I told him we may not catch anything, but he said it doesn’t matter,” Greg Senters told the station. The hospital said a VA chaplain fulfilled Willhite’s other dying wish to be baptized so he would be properly prepared to “crossover.”
