What an amazing man Steve was! When I first started watching Croc Hunter I thought "what a nut"! I watched just to see what would get him next! He drew is in with his antics, but then he kept us close with his PASSION and COMMITMENT! It just astonishes me that one man could touch so many lives! He taught MILLIONS, and yet was so humble and honest that we all felt as if we were one of our closest and dearest friends!!! His passion has created an ARMY OF WILDLIFE WARRIORS to carry on his good works!
TO TERRI: I cannot imagine the depth of your saddness! My heart aches so badly for you! I hope you know that our prayers are constant that the Lord will give you strength and help heal your heart! I know that probably isn't very comforting right now, but this is all we know to do! If our arms could reach around the world, they would be rapped around you to hold you close! TO BINDI SUE: Sweetheart, you are your Daddy's ANGEL! I know he heard you speak for him from Heaven and he was saying "CRICKEY! DID YOU HEAR HER? THAT'S MY GIRL!" Your Dad said he would be so proud on the day his children could take "the football" and run with it. I believe, babygirl, you took your first steps! I know your Daddy is so VERY, VERY PROUD OF YOU!!! Your Dad loves you and always will! When you miss him just look in your heart, he will ALWAYS be there!! TO WES AND STEVE'S FAMILY AT AUSTRALIA ZOO: There is not doubt that Steve has gathered the finest to carry on his mission!! You all helped the world with our grief even though your own grief must be immense! We truley THANK YOU!!! YOU DID STEVE PROUD, MATES!! TO BOB (STEVE'S DAD): There are no words that can ease your pain, but I am so sorry for your loss! You and Lynn raised and outstanding son! His PASSION and SINCERITY were so great that the world learned from his example! I want to thank you for helping him to become the man he was! You showed him how to be tough and yet still be able to show his heart! His COMPASSION made us want to be better people, to do more! THANK YOU for inspiring the man who inspired MILLIONS!!! TO BABY BOB: The world loved your Daddy, but put all of us together and it still wasn't HALF AS MUCH AS HE LOVED YOU!!!!!! REST IN PEACE, STEVE! WE LOVE YOU and CRICKEY, WE MISS YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
