Reverend Bob Holzhammer passed away yesterday, longtime PA announcer for Hawkeye FB and BB. I miss hearing his voice at the games.
 
How long had Father Bob been announcing games? I don't remember any other voices over the PA system and I have been attending games since '87. RIP Father Bob.

On a related note, maybe the others will get the Rick Flair-type they want announcing to enhance the game day experience.
 
He was the first minister I ever heard, couldn't believe I heard him at he the old field house doing games. I was pretty young and didn't understand people did different things back then. He was great as a PA announcer. He will be missed.
 
He had the golden voice for announcing. Will always remember his opening words at every game: " Hello everybody!" He will be missed.
