Humor was just a part of this wonderfully unique man’s make up. Like his father Bob said, “He was just a regular bloke, a regular guy.” A regular guy who lived and loved life to the fullest who devoted his life and passion to wildlife conservation and cherished his family like no other.

By the way; Any decent Aussie has a self deprecating sense of humour.

Steve and I had the same name and age. It is a potent reminder of how suddenly and unexpectedly it all can end.

Good onya mate and thanks!

Maybe, not enough has been said about Steve’s wife. Here she was an Oregon girl who married ‘The Crock Guy’and moved a cazillion miles from home. Wherever he went, she almost always followed. She seems to be a great animal advocate in her own right. I hope she continues Steve’s work.

As Steve would say “CROCS RULE!” He’s an awesome, awesome guy and you can tell that he really enjoyed life. Everyday was a different adventure for him and he was so passionate about what he believed in. I wish there was more people like him out there.

I forgot who it was, but some tv show about the stars interviewed him and his wife. His wife was truly proud of him, but not just for all the achievements on tv and his work with animals and all, but because he was also the kind of man that every woman wants their mate to be, kind, funny, dedicated to family first and an all around descent man.

I think one thing about Irwin which is presently understated is his dedication to family.

I know the fact has been pointed out in many of the recent tributes on TV - that the only thing he loved more than animals was his family - but think about it; the man was (and is) a *huge* role model for familial commitment.

In this day and age, that’s something really special.

And what a fun dad and husband he would have been too!

Chris.

I always thought he had a humor all his own.

When I first saw this on ESPN, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
