Detroit

Dan
Gilbert
won’t
attend
an
annual

while he
recovers
from
stroke-like
symptoms.
Gilbert
was
supposed
to speak
Wednesday
at the
Detroit
Regional
Chamber’s
Mackinac

on
Mackinac

fill in.
Rock

is the
parent

The
57-year-old

was
admitted
to a
Detroit-area
hospital
Sunday
and
described
as
“recovering
comfortably.”
There
was no
update
Monday
from
Quicken

about
his
condition.
"He
received
immediate
medical
attention
and is
currently
recovering
comfortably,"
said a
statement
issued
by the
Quicken
Loans
family
of
companies
following
inquiries
from The
News.
"Our
collective
thoughts
and
prayers
are with
Dan for
a speedy
recovery."
