I just read in the paper that family and friends said farewell to Steve Irwin with an intimate gathering and stories around a campfire in Australia, Saturday, on the grounds of Australia Zoo. Steve's father, Bob Irwin, said most of the private service was spent talking about him around a candlelit fire, because that is the way Steve would have wanted it.
A public memorial for fans is expected next week to be held in a 52,000 seat stadium. (from the Balt. Sun Papers 9/13/06)
