On Friday, RTÉ Director-General Dee Forbes paid tribute to a man who "occupies a special place in Irish broadcasting history", having brought "a unique brand of warmth, respect and wit" to his many appearances on the air.
"He had such a distinguished career in broadcasting in Ireland and the UK, something he clearly loved," said Forbes.
"That he continued to broadcast with the same unique delivery and wit to the very end is testament to his professionalism and to his popularity.
"He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family and his many friends, both in RTÉ and across the world of broadcasting."
