I Hope There Are Crocodiles In Heaven...

On September 4 Steve Irwin, a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter, was killed in a freak accident involving a stingray. Mr. Irwin was a great man that my brother and I both greatly admired and looked up to. His unending enthusiasm served as testament to the definition of passion. His work inspired me more than I can possibly describe or explain. I really can't describe why a man I've never met is so important to me but he was very influential on my life. I send my thoughts and prayers to his wife and two young children. A great man and a member of my short list of heroes died far too young and I will mourn him for years to come...

Amen to that. I remember some good times we had watching the Croc hunter together. He will certainly be missed.
