My deepest condolences for your loss. It's clear that he was a driven and sincerely passionate man. Many do not take the time to enjoy nature, not only for its beauty but the amazing science behind. May his family and friends continue to enjoy nature and find peace through prayer to our Heavenly Father.

It is wonderful to know that Mr. Rabb's personal interest for the animals and for us is of great esteem. Walking into a habitat like that is like being in a mini paradise away from all ugliness because you are in awe of creation! May this great accomplishments be treasured and bring warm smiles to the Rabb family. May the "Almighty God give you joy, peace and hope" that soon we shall be in a "paradise" like this together with our loved ones that have left us only for a brief moment. ...
