THE NEW HAMPSHIRE Sports Thursday, November 12, 2020 15 Boston mourns the loss of Tommy Heinsohn
By Cameron Beall SPORTS EDITOR On Tuesday, Boston lost a man who gave his entire adult life to the city and had one of the greatest impacts on one of the world’s most famous sports franchises. Former Boston Celtics player, coach and broadcaster Tommy Heinsohn passed away at the age of 86 on Tuesday. He was a part of the Celtics in some fashion during each of their 17 championships, the first coming in 1957. Heinsohn may be gone, but the imprint he left on the franchise and on the city is something that will live on forever. Longtime broadcast partner Mike Gorman had nothing but kind words to say about Heinsohn. After 39 years under the headset with Heinsohn, Gorman shared some of his fondest memories with his broadcast partner on Tuesday afternoon. “Tommy’s in a better place now. It was a tough couple of PHOTO COURTESY STUART CAHILL months for him going down the Tommy Heinsohn giving the thumbs up to current Celtics players as he walks past during pre-game warm-ups stretch,” explained Gorman. “I think there’s a certain sense of “I don’t think there’s retired at the age of 30.
