    on another thread a poster mentioned that rigormortis has started setting in when picked up by ambulance - so would have passed well before 2pm. ..... call was made maybe around 2 and picked up before 2.30.

    either way - RIP.... hard to believe.

    Why did you not believe it and open another one ?

    I know slagging the guy off was a national past time but the guy was an institution on Irish radio for decades I hope on this particular forum that is respected within reason.

    Very sad, RIP.

    If this is too sudden mods please delete but this is the radio forum so a really interesting section is who will take his slot.

    fair question Rovert, but we might leave that till Tuesday

    So, this is the only warning.

    ANYONE using this thread to slag the guy off will be banned from the forum.

    if you want to post a respectful post here, do it. If you don't, don't post anything.

    Read this carefully:

    ANYBODY POSTING REMARKS IN BAD TASTE WILL BE BANNED. BB and I will decided what "bad taste" is. If you're not sure, don't post.

    Please do not take issue with anyone elses posts in this thread. If you have a problem with a post, just report it.

    thank you everyone for your co-operation so far, it's much appreciated.

    He was entertaining and I enjoyed listening to him for years.

    He will be missed.

    I guess RTE are waiting to contact every member of his immediate family before releasing a massive statement about him.

    That seems to be what's happening alright. He has a daughter in New York who they are trying to contact. Apparently, the broadcaster is preparing an official statement and they don't plan on making any announcement until 5pm.

    Apparently one family member is currently in USA. Nice one mr. ambulance driver. Not the way I'd want to find out about a loved one.

    Didn't like him on TV but as a postman on delivery listening to him for the last 20 odd years it is like losing a friend.Many mornings I would say to myself I'm not listening to him again but at 9 o clock I would relent.RIP Gerry and sympathies to his family who he loved dearly.

    There are 2500 people on After Hours....

    I just went for an hours lie down and listen to Mark Kermode on BBC 5live and this happens! Shocked tbh.

    I won't miss him for a moment but that strange small hothouse called Irish public life certainly will and I send my condolences to his family and the team he worked with day in and day out for years.
