Sad news about Steve Irwin (here)
who died today while filming on the Great Barrier Reef.
Steve became famous as the Australian "Croc Hunter", he was also a passionate environmentalist, a loving father and devoted husband.
My Sister who is over visiting from Australia was shocked to hear about his untimely passing. Mel will also be upset when she gets home from school having been very fond of all of his shows and ideas. Our thoughts go out to his wife, Terry and their two wee children.
You will embark on a fair sea,
and at times there will be fair weather, but not always.
You will meet storms and overcome them.
You will take it in turns to steer your boat through fair weather and foul. Never lose courage.
Save harbour awaits you...in the end.

I liked him too!!! How sad.
It is sad to lose one so young. I feel for his wife and 2 small children...
It is very sad. Although I suppose, given his career path, that I didn't actually expect him to go quietly in his sleep at a ripe old age. Still and all I'm very sorry for his wife and children.
That is so sad, I also did a post today, a truly great person!!!!!
I was saddened too. I think many of us posted about him today. I know I did.
It will be so sad not to be able to see him anymore. I really loved everything about him. Besides his antics he was a great environmentalist. He will be missed by all who knew him.
My condolences go to his family.

Hi Horizon ~~ Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my new blog
which seems to be working OK. I hope your Mum liked the monk joke, all about
the letter "R" Funny one. Take care,
and have a nice day. Love, Merle.
He could be a little over the top at times but one thing a person had to admire about him was his gusto for life! At least he died doing something he loved, which is more than most people can say. What a guy!
He was such a lot of fun. We loved his shows.
Hard to believe he's gone. So very sad for his family.
Love that quote :) It's so him!
I, too was saddened by this news. He had a special place in my heart. I hope Teri will be okay. Her love for Steve showed in every project.
