such a massive tragic loss of a fantastic conservationist, educator and loving family man. Your never ending contagious enthusiasm, passion for life and amazing contributions to wildlife. These are rare qualities these days but you had them all. You restored my faith in good people and that legacy will live on. You seemed invincible steve!!there really is no justice, you were pure and simply a fantastic man.
Its a shame it takes someone to die before we tell them how amazing they were,eh? you were a legend steve, it is so unbelieveably sad and gives me such a heavy heart, sending love and condolences to Terri, Bindi Sue, Bob and everyone who loved and knew him. RIP Steve.
RIP STEVE
