No filter… Now here comes the wildfire smoke 🔥😳 Whole city covered in an orange haze. Toronto currently has the worst air quality of any city in the world right now 🌆

[Darren McCaffrey @darrenmccaffrey]

Hottest day for 30 years in Toronto… and it’s 10.30pm, yes PM and still 30C! 🥵 #heatwave

He used to say to me “Darren, broadcasting and flying a plane are the same; keep racking up your air miles and like all good pilots, you’ll become a better captain” - well there was no greater captain than Dermot 💔

[Darren McCaffrey @darrenmccaffrey]

💔 My thoughts on the saddest of news…

As we grow up, many struggle with what career path they might take but that wasn’t me. I was different enough to know not just what I wanted to do but also who I wanted to be; Dermot Murnaghan - the master of his trade.

[Darren McCaffrey @darrenmccaffrey]

And then a great friend. I will miss our lengthy arguments, relentless teasing, the good gossip and those long boozy lunches. We will all miss the good-natured, funny and generous man Dermot was. 

My sincere condolences to all his family and friends.
