Andy Jick, the longtime public address announcer for the Celtics and Boston College, has died. He was 66.
According to BC, Jick died unexpectedly in his sleep Friday.
BC athletic director Martin Jarmond called it a ‘‘tremendously sad day for all of us.’’
“Andy’s love and passion for BC athletics was evident to everyone who ever had the opportunity to meet him,’’ Jarmond said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Andy’s friends and family.’’
For anyone who enjoyed the iconic run of the 1980s Celtics in the Boston Garden, Andy Jick’s voice provides the soundtrack to those memories.
