Fans shared in Robert’s grief, with one writing: “Oh Robert, my entire family cried when your dad died. He was a rare gem of a man. I can never look at wildlife or nature without thinking of him. He blessed this earth and he left us blessings in you and Bindi.”
“You and Bindi have done an amazing job keeping his legacy alive!” another chimed in.

Bindi recently revealed that Grace calls Steve ‘grandpa crocodile’, and she loves to find photos of him at Australia Zoo.
Fans reassured the Wildlife Warrior that Steve was indeed watching over Grace as she grows up.
“He gave this world such a gift by sharing his life with us. I’m sure Grace will think of him as a superhero as she grows and she’ll be right. He was extraordinary and so are you,” one fan wrote.

“He is so very proud of you and the life that you have created, but especially because of the kind of parent you are. You had the best for an example!” a third commented.
