I was also gonna post this, and like I said on another forum when I heard this sad news, I didn't love the guy or watch his shows alot but it just plain sucks knowing that someone who loved animals as much as he did had to go.
Irwin was a dedicated guy and he loved his work, its down right crappy that he had to die by such unusual "freak accident" of ways. But I think he would have preferred to die doing what he loved rather then by something else.
He was a positive and supportive guy and no doubt, an all around decent human being, R.I.P Crocodile Hunter, sorry we had to see you go so soon
