I am sad on behalf of his family & friends. Sincere condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Aside from those condolences, I am a big believer in celebrating life at the time of death. He accomplished a great deal. Little Caesar's pizza, in addition to directly employing thousands, was/is an easily accessible franchise business that made many people themselves small business owners. His sports businesses need no touting. I just wish he'd lived to see the arena open & the Tigers win the WS. He sure put a lot of money into both. And in terms of helping Detroit, he invested a lot of money, back when it appeared to be throwing good money after bad. Regardless of anyone's opinion of him as a developer, downtown would likely not be where it is today without his years-ago investments in the Wings, Tigers, Fox & moving his HQ downtown.

Thanks, Mr. I, for the lifetime of hard work, success & vision. May your family's pain heal, and your legacy businesses continue to thrive.
