Steve Erwin...Rest In Peace.
An Australian mother characterized it exactly right in my opinion.
She's right. He was a fixture of many young lives.
A brave, crazy, very smart person who loved the wildlife that he worked with and wanted to show it all to the world.
His kind only really comes around once in a generation.
My pre-cable generation had Marlin Perkins and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. The show still continues with Perkins long-time assistant, Jim Fowler, in the host role. It appears on Animal Planet today.
My kids had Steve Erwin's Crocodile Hunter.
He'll be missed.
From our children's perspectives, this is like JFK or Princess Diana's passing.
