Funeral arrangements have not been announced for Detroit billionaire Matty Moroun. His family reported the Ambassador Bridge owner died Sunday of congestive heart failure at the age of 93. He is survived by his wife and son Matthew, who in recent years has been managing the families diversified holdings. Moroun went from humble beginnings to form his own trucking empire, and bought the Ambassador Bridge years ago so he could own the bridge used by his trucks to take auto parts between the U-S and Canada. Moroun’s company also has extensive real estate holdings.
