I have sad news. Some of you  may not have heard this but the crocodile hunter aka steve irwin was killed September 5th. He was killed by a sting ray. I don't want any flaming or making jo0kes about him in this topic. this is to respect our hero.

I read, with heavy heart, about the sudden and tragic death of Steve Irwin on the internet shortly after his passing. When I first watched this guy on television(the Discovery Channel) I admit I thought he was kind of bonkers. Watching him in action more I realized that he was a trained professional with the various assortment of wild, and often dangerous, animals that he featured on his shows. He was an affable, truly likable fellow, full of life, who loved his family, and I think, all the crocs and other critters who, IMO, Mr. Irwin also considered to be part of his family, as well. He was always generous to charities, and worked diligently on behalf of many species of animals to protect them from poaching. He leaves behind a wife and two(2) children. I should have posted his passing at this site before now, and I apologize for not doing so, Patrick. I think it's safe to say that Steve Irwin will be missed, but will never be forgotten. May he Rest In Peace. I hope his wife and children, the latter as they grow older, continue the important work, and legacy, that Mr. Irwin has left, for everyone.

Let me add Patrick that there will never be any flaming, or jokes, in any thread at this forum regarding a deceased person, whether they are a famous person(celebrity), or not. You have my solemn word on that my young friend. :)
