Greg Hickman, the founder and chairman of the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach, California, and Vietnam War veteran, died unexpectedly while fly-fishing on May 15.
Hickman was “enjoying his favorite hobby … at the time of his passing,” Debbie McGuire, co-founder and executive director of the wildlife rescue nonprofit, said in a statement. “The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center is Greg’s lifelong project, and we plan on keeping his legacy going on for many years.”
