Wow so sad to hear of the passing of @Eagles_PA Andy Jick, the PA voice of the Celtics throughout the 80s. I can still do every word of his pregame intro... Then was amazing to go to recent BC games & hear echoes of those memories. RIP 😢🎤☘️

As a life long Celtics fan who realized his dream job as @celticspa it was Andy Jick’s voice at the Boston Garden that led me to that dream, sending my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. https://t.co/QuCy4YLvAq

Rest in peace, Andy Jick. You were the classic Celtics' PA voice of the Bird era and a great friend.

Sad news today about Andy Jick. A true professional on the microphone as the @celtics and @BCEagles basketball PA announcer for many years. Proud to have called him a friend. RIP

Shocked about Andy Jick @Eagles_PA news. Literally just saw him, talked and shared a laugh with him on Wednesday at @BCBirdBall game. 100% his voice was one of my first announcing inspirations. No other words right now.
