Dan Hicks, the legendary NBC broadcaster who called everything from Notre Dame football and golf to the Olympics, has died at 64, according to NBC Sports and his wife, fellow broadcaster Hannah Storm.
“Dan was truly one of a kind and, quite simply, the person everyone wanted to be around,” Storm wrote on social media. “When he walked into a room, he brought energy and laughter, and brought people together. He was endlessly kind, thoughtful and funny, and he made everyone feel like they mattered.”
