Dies at 86

We will miss you Bill.  The legendary Detroit Pistons and Detroit investor has left us.  He never gave up on Detroit.

Here is the Freep…

Davidson became majority owner of the Pistons in 1974. He also owned Palace Sports & Entertainment and the WNBA’s Detroit Shock. He owned the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning until 2008.

Services are scheduled for noon Tuesday at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield, according to the Ira Kaufman Chapel Funeral Home.

The Pistons players and coaches learned of Davidson’s death shortly after the team’s victory over the Raptors in Toronto. Many expressed disbelief and declined comment.

“We are all deeply saddened by the news of Mr. D’s passing,” Pistons coach Michael Curry said in a statement. “He’s been a great owner who genuinely cared for players, coaches and employees.
