Ryan Dailey, Tallahassee Democrat - TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- At 87, Ralph Larue wasn’t ready to give up on the thrill of reeling in a fish. Larue, who is under the in-home care of Covenant Hospice’s Jaci Bartley, is a Navy veteran with a terminal illness. His final wish was to get out on the water one more time.

“I’ve been working with Mr. Larue since May,” Bartley said. “Every time I talk to him and we sort of reminisce about his life, fishing is always in the story.”

Larue’s fishing trip, on Nov. 12, was made possible through the Dale O. Knee Veterans Support Fund. Created by former Covenant CEO Dale O. Knee, who's also a Navy veteran, it was put in place to give elderly veterans opportunities they may not have had otherwise.
