I was surprised to see this in my inbox already, from a mate in the UK.
Shit, people are quick these days

Hehehe, I was just going to post the same thing but you beat me to it

No doubt there'll be plenty more come out of the woodwork as the day goes on.

Here you go this one just arrived in my inbox, told you there'd be plenty

with all due respect to the guy ofcourse:

mabye he shouldnt have tried to pick it up by its tail

Bit of a shock hearing of his death, kinda thought he'd die by the croc if anything. We visited Australia Zoo Christmas 2004 and he and his wife were there that day and took the tiger/croc show. Glad we got to see it, he was certainly a character.

Yep had one arive myself at 7.30 this morning as well

Well... funny shit...

RIP to him, and my thoughts are with his family... but personally... that guy annoyed the shit out of me... hopefully we don't get another 10 years worth of re-runs... tv sucks enough as it is

its a pretty old series, done around the same time as Thunderbirds back in the 80's. Was never really as popular as Thunderbirds though.

I don't think the jokes are offensive and he would probably think they were funny too!
RIP Crockman, just stiff cheese about the stingray thing.
He did well with his time, most people know who he was and what he stood for, it's not compulsory to like him but you have to respect him for achievement!

prise for

but it was his own "brand".

Agree - but on reading more about him, his work in conservation should continue too.

Joke:
Sunblock - that protects against harmful rays.
