I remember very distinctly the first time I saw Steve Irwin on TV. I was in college and my roommate told me I had to see this crazy guy. The show was about spiders, and he had me on the edge of my seat with his penchant for drama and his genuine enthusiasm.
After that a group of my friends would meet in our dorm room to watch the Croc Hunter's show and do Steve impressions: "This is the most daaangerous spider in aaaaaaaaalll of Australia. Now let's see if we can get it to crawl on this stick!"
We laughed, we cringed, we learned so much. You couldn't help but smile and get excited right along with him. He obviously loved his job and his family very much.
Steve will be missed. My condolences to his family!!
