He was responsible for bringing 4 championships for the Red Wings and two "World Series" trips for the Tigers. He was not only a great team owner, he was a great Detroit developer. He wife is the owner of "Motor City Casino". His estimated worth was around six billion dollars.

Sad day indeed. One of the best owners in all of sports. Truly loved the city, his players, and the fans. A real class act.....
