I was shocked to hear on the evening news that Steve Irwin, also known as the Crocodile Hunter was killed by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. It's a very unfortunate event but at least he died doing what he loved most in life.
I will always remember for his favorite catchword, "Crikey!"
I enjoyed watching his funny antics on TV but I was appalled when he subjected his few month old son to a perilous act. He was seen feeding large crocodiles in a zoo while he held his infant son in one harm. Although Irwin claimed that there was no danger to his son, I think it was a huge mistake on his part. He must have learned from that mistake because there was no repeat incident.
Steve Irwin was a passionate environmentalist. I admire him for his dedication to preserve nature. He will be missed by many including me.
