Tigers owner

 

 

Also Red Wings owner and founder of Little Caesars Pizza. 

 

Always want to see Tigers' WS victory before he died. That's sad.

 

 

Wow, that really sucks. Like BH said, he wanted to see the Tigers win one more before he went.

 

RIP Mr. Ilitch.

 

 

Damn. Rip. Anyone know if he was sick or anything? Was this expected at all?

Good news is he died not having to witness the historic Detroit red wings all time consecutive playoff streak come to an end. They're pretty bad and probably going to snap the streak this year. RIP, great owner and good person. 

 

 

Fun Fact:

 

When Rosa Parks was robbed, and her community church was looking for donations to move her out of her bad neighborhood- Illitch called and asked how much the rent was and paid the rent for the last 10 years of her life without ceremony, and if I remember correctly- no one knew until he had passed.

What a piece of shit do you have to be to rob Rosa Parks. I wonder if they found out after and were like- fuck.... what did we do.
