I was watching those shows last night too. Confessions of a Crocodile Hunter. I was in tears more than once watching. I too never felt so much angst for someone I haven't known (with exceptions of Princess Di, and 9.11 I cried openly as well). I found the more I watched the more amazed I became of this man. Born on the same day as his mother. They shared such a special bond. That family is soooooooo full of love. The love of father and son. Both generations there. Just amazing. He will be so sorely missed. I hope Terri will continue this legacy.

Wasn't it so heart wrenching when he was asked when we you step down/aside? When his children are passed the ball-to continue the legacy. The pride he had in his voice for his children to continue, because of the opportunity he was afforded by his parents. This man was truly something special. Selfless, loving, caring, and a down right hoot. I looked at some of the clips on discovery...just too wonderful!!!! The zoo itself an extended family! He will be so missed by so many!!! May his enthusiasm, and energy inspire us all, in even the smallest of ways to take a "risk" no matter how big or small it maybe...and just do it!!!!
