The first time I ever came across him was just channel surfing. Irwin had enough charisma to break through my 10-nanosecond channel-surfing attention span. I was immediately amused and hooked.

My son was particularly fond of him. Irwin was the main reason my son wanted us to take a vacation to Australia some time. When my son heard the news yesterday, he sent an email to everyone on his contact list saying he was devastated. He's never done that before.

I think Irwin touched a lot of people that way. The world could use more people like Steve and his wife.
