To Dear Steve
Even now 8 months on from the day you left us all your passing is still so hard to accept.
When I watch you on TV tears stream down my face unashamedly as the pain of your death is still real.
Steve you were such a legend but not only for what you did for wildlife and conservation but for you as a man. You were a picture of health and vitiality, a gorgeous looking man who totally oozed selflessness and the utmost care and respect of everyone and everything on this planet. You had a wonderful wife and 2 gorgeous children and your passing is so unfair to them and me a huge fan of yours now and always.
God bless you Steve and your lovely family, all your fans worldwide wil always have you in their hearts. You were the kindest and most wondeful man and we miss you so much.
Take care
