Detroit — Quicken Loans founder and Detroit billionaire booster Dan Gilbert is awake and "improving by the hour," Jay Farner, the company's CEO, said Tuesday, two days after Gilbert suffered a stroke.
Farner was speaking at a media event ahead of next month's PGA Tour event, the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. It's an event Gilbert has been instrumental in bringing to the city, after years of lobbying.
Farner said Gilbert started feeling poorly Saturday and decided to go to the hospital, Beaumont in Royal Oak.
