Unhappy

Crikey! The Crocodile Hunter has passed away :(


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060904/.../obit_irwin_18

Sad day for conservation...

My son is going to be devastated - Steve was his hero.

My thoughts and prayers are with Terri, Bindi & Bob.

That's sad news. I loved the Crocodile Hunter shows and Steve seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I feel bad for his wife and children.

I just found out by the news. Very depressing. That one show on TV that my entire family enjoyed! He will be greatly missed.

WOW just read the news on that too! will miss that show and him.... we loved watch all of his stuff!

In this photo released by Animal Planet shows a undated photo of Australian international media personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin at Uluru, (also known as Ayers Rock) who died on the Great Barrier Reef in far north Queensland, Australia, Monday, Sept. 4, 2006. Irwin, known as The Crocodile Hunter, was killed Monday by a stingray barb to his heart while fiming a new television series. (AP Photo/Animal Planet, HO)
