From Mayor Mike Duggan - 

"Detroit lost one of its most tireless champions and dedicated public servants yesterday. Fred Durhal, Jr., the father of City Councilman Fred Durhal, III, represented Detroit with a blend of fire and human compassion in the State House that earned him the respect of his peers and the admiration of his constituents. During the City's bankruptcy, no one fought harder than Rep. Durhal for Detroit's retirees.

Sonia and I send our deepest condolences to Councilman Durhal and his entire family at this difficult time."
