Sad day....
It’s a sad day…I read with grief today about a demise of a great man….
Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed this morning by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.
For those who have cables at home would know he is a popular icon of the Animal Planet. His documentaries were always fun to watch. OML and myself really admired his work with the animals. It’s not everyday u see a man so committed to saving the wild and educating us of the importance of every single species in the animal kingdom.
What is even sadder is the fact that his family is still so young…His wife is 41, his eldest gal is 8 and his son, turning 3 soon.
I was lucky to have met him in person when my parents were in Queensland and I had brought them to the zoo that was founded by Steve Erwin’s parents. He has managed to sustain the zoo through various projects, fundings and donations from the public. He was a very humble man. Very humorous and really devoted to saving nature. We saw his whole family there including his young daughter, Bindi, a very intelligent young gal. She has the makings of her dad actually….but now, haiz…it’s really tragic.
My utmost condolences to his family and friends and I pray deep inside my heart that they will be strong and carry on the legend of Steve Irwin.
