TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) – A terminally ill New Jersey man who fulfilled one his last wishes by making a final trip to his favorite casino in Atlantic City last week has died.
John Mudry died Monday at a nursing home in Toms River. Family members say he had been diagnosed with a rare form of non-treatable bladder cancer.
Mudry’s death came nearly a week after he and his family visited Bally’s Atlantic City so Mudry could drink a cold beer and play a few more hands of blackjack.
The 71-year-old retired Teamster made the trip with help from his hospice caretakers and health care providers. He ended up winning a few hundred dollars on the casino floor.
