The entire Boston Celtics organization and our ownership group are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jim Loscutoff, a Celtics Legend and seven-time NBA champion. Affectionately nicknamed "Loscy" and "Jungle Jim," Loscutoff passed away on December 1 at the age of 85.
Upon the conclusion of his playing days in 1964, Jim and his wife, artist Lynn Loscutoff, founded Camp Evergreen, a children's day camp where a wide range of programs are carried out to provide an enriching camping experience. Loscutoff's nickname of "Loscy" was hoisted to the Boston Garden rafters on April 14, 1973 for his leadership and all-around excellent play.
