Very Sad News Croc Hunter Steve Irwin Killed

This is such sad news!! Early this morning when this came across the breaking news wire, I felt so bad oh how tragic. Steve Irwin always managed to bring smiles and laughs to our homes as he wrangled the most dangerous reptiles. What a great guy, he had such passion for his work and at the same time with great enthusiasm with a great sense of humor. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. Wow, I still can't believe it.
