RIP.
As my dingy friend said in a cemetery....”WOW....that RIP family has a LOT of family buried here”!!!
Been a Red Wings fan since the mid 1980s. RIP Mike, you helped bring Stanley Cups and overall dignity back to a franchise that had become known as the Dead Things by the mid to late 1970s era. His daughter Denise is on “Michigan Matters” often as well.
RIP.
Too bad he didn’t buy the Lions also while he was at it.
RIP
Tigers will be reporting here soon. He’ll be missed.
He’s a Marine and spoke at our university one time. Pro American and a proud one. Even spoke on how to properly hold a Garand rifle and this was a business school. Thank you Sir for your speech to us.
No one has ever recreated pizza so many ways.
God Bless Mike and his family! And God Speed Mike on to Heaven!
RIP Mr. Ilitch
Mike is a great example of success in America.
Awww, He wanted to win a World Series in the worst way, huge payroll, great stadium, took care of his players like a family. He has sponsored winning teams in the Detroit area almost all my life. Sent Kids to Europe to play in hockey tournaments as Little Caesers teams. Sponsored the best Softball from the Detroit area, later had a pro softball team called Little Caesers. Finally got his pro team, The Detroit Red Wings, Ten finally his Detroit Tigers. Got him to the World Series twice, but alas, no title. Rest on Peace, you were wonderful for sports in the Detroit area.
Met him through a relative... Mr. I was a really great guy that did a lot for the City of Detroit. Wish he could have gotten that World Series ring.
wow! that’s quite the life... Pizza , pizza... his commercials are funny...
Prolly ett wun uv his pizzers!
Thank you Mr. I....RIP.

Non-sports fans might want to know he owned the tigers and Red Wings because he founded Little Caesars. ESPN couldn’t not that little factoid.
